This Round's Question...
Good Luck to all! Happy learning!
Finally it is dark. Hunting time. The group of lioness (female lions) get ready to take down their prey. The dark enhances their sight like night vision goggles. Being able to see eight times better in the dark then the average human their prey was in for a rough ride.Yum, the warm smell of a lone Gemsbok brushes past the lions nose. Minutes ago the Gemsbok was standing in the same exact spot. Using their highly developed sense of smell the pack follows the scent. A cold breeze blows in the silent darkness. Cool temperatures are the perfect condition to hunt. No worry of the scorching sun or the draining desert. The pack was ready for a tasty feast. Spreading apart now, the prey had been spotted and identified; a lone gemsbok lost from its family. In the Kalahari desert it is truly survival of the fittest. One wrong move and you were the target and sadly this was the case for the single Gemsbok hiding in the tall grass. Closer and closer. The female’s lean bodies letting them fit in effortlessly between the rocks, inching even closer to their dinner. The pack were the secret monsters of the night with the soft pads of their feet leaving them absolutely silent as they hunt. Run. The Gemsbok bolted through the field attempting to escape its terrible death. Leaping of rocks, bolting past shrubs, anything to stay alive. But the lions are fast, faster than the gemsbok. And the females pounch. Jumping at its prey. Ripping, tearing. Using their powerful claws to snap its neck and paralyze the gemsbok. Defenceless, the lion’s use their strong jaws and sharp teeth to tear into the animal's flesh. The gemsbok was dead and was about to become a feast for a pack of lions. The lioness brings back the corpse to the rest of the pack. Dinner is served.
Its quiet footsteps lurked around in the forest hoping to find an animal to feast on. The Black Jaguars’ power legs help him plant itself at the top of the tree, carefully watching the Ocelot while planning an attack from above. Like any other cat, the Jaguar attacks the head not the neck. The Jaguar leaps forward going headfirst for the ocelot. The Jaguar takes every last breath of the ocelot and drags him onto the tree, the Jaguar can carry up the half his body weight up a tree. The Jaguar will attack smaller or weaker than them. Like deer, peccary, crocodiles, snacks, monkeys, sloths, turtles, eggs, fog, fish mostly anything they can catch. The Black Jaguar shows off his swimming skills by jumping into the water and catching fish without any hesitation. Other cats avoid the water, but the Black Jaguars are actually really good swimmers.
ROUND 3-" Which organism has the BEST adaptations and behaviors for obtaining food and ingesting it?"
Welcome to A. Blair McPherson School's March Mammal Madness! We appreciate you helping out in selecting the organism that has adaptations that enable it to rule over all! This is a student project that helps us learn more about Biodiversity. Students selected their organism, researched about adaptations, its niche and more! Each round will have a different question. Please select the organism whose description BEST answers the question!
