    The document discusses animal adaptations seen in Arabian oryx, sealions, and earthworms. Arabian oryx have long legs and hooves adapted for running in desert environments. Sealions have streamlined bodies, flippers, and nostrils that can close to adapt to aquatic life, allowing them to propel through water and prevent water entering their lungs while diving. Earthworms have long, slim bodies and bristles that help them burrow easily in soil and grip the sides to avoid being pulled out by predators. The adaptations help these animals survive and thrive in their different environmental conditions.

    Animal Adaptations

    Learning Objectives
    • To explain the adaptations seen in different animals living in different
    environmental conditions.

    Success Criteria:
    • To describe the adaptations seen in Arabian oryx, Sealions and
    Earthworms.
    • To discuss the importance of adaptations in animals.
    Adaptations in Arabian oryx
    Adaptations in sealions

    • They have streamlined body shape to reduce friction while moving


    through water.
    • Their front and hind legs have flippers that help them to propel in
    water.
    • Their nostrils close to stop water getting into lungs when diving in
    water.
    • They are carnivores- have sharp teeth to capture and kill prey.
    Adaptations in earthworm
    • Earthworms have long, slim, smooth bodies that slide easily through
    burrows (they make while eating the soil).
    • They have tiny bristles called chaetae which can grip the sides of the
    burrow when a predator tries to pull them out.
