The Wild Robot, Assignment 2.4

During this week's reading, we learn a lot of interesting things about how different animals adapt to survive. Roz observes these animals and applies what she learns from them to her situation. Take a closer look at some of the survival behaviors that Roz learned from her animal neighbors. Read the three articles below and leave a Vlog on Flipgrid to share any new learning that you found interesting AND how that learning might help you by adapting it to a real life situation. Please feel free to end your video with an opossum impersonation!
