Find out how flamingos are specially adapted to their environment. http://www.seaworld.org/infobooks/Flamingos/fadapt.html

This is great site to study animals and find out how they are specially adapted to their environment. After you have explored, select 4 animals and using the animals web site as a resource, answer the questions. You may make a slide about each animal in PowerPoint and upload your presentation or you may write your answers in a word ducument and upload. Enjoy! http://www.uen.org/utahlink/activities/view_activity.cgi?activity_id=4750
