storyboard about animals on how they interact in an environment
Storyboard-Text
- I eat bunnies allow me to demonstrate
- Hello there I'm Walter the wolf and I'm here to learn you a thing about natural selection
- *dying bunny noises*
- This is a white bunny. It doesn't blend in so it was easy for me to find and kill. Some other bunnies are brown so they camouflage and I can't find them, so they breed and there are more of them. Other animal species pretend to be other species so they don't get eaten. That's called mimicry.
- Camouflage and mimicry are both structural adaptions. Adaptions are something that organisms do to survive better in their environment. There are 3 types of adaptions: structural, behavioral, and functional. Structural is about physical features, behavioral is how an animal acts, and functional is an animal's chemical or body functions.
- A lot of adaptions start with mutations. When an animal has a genetic mutation and it benefits them, they survive better and reproduce more. Sometimes this mutation will spread to the rest of the population and become an adaption.
- We get a lot of these ideas from Charles Darwin. Charles Darwin researched plants and animals on the Galapagos Islands and came up with the theory of natural selection. Natural selection is when animals that have better traits that help them survive better in their environment will live longer and reproduce more, and the ones that don't will die, like our bunny friend. Those who are best fit to live and reproduce, will do so. That's also called survival of the fittest.
- thank you for coming to my forest, and goodbye!
