Presentation transcript:

Adaptations of Predators/Prey Help predators capture prey Help prey avoid predators Match organisms to their habitat

1.Cryptic Coloration Camouflage color Camouflage shape

2.Chemical Defense Smell Taste Poison venom

Black & some bright color 3.Aposematic Color Warning color Black & some bright color

5. Mimicry Organism looks/behaves like a different organism Organism looks like an inanimate object

3 Types of Mimicry A harmless/defenseless mimic looks like a dangerous model 2 dangerous/bad-tasting organisms mimic each-other Harmful predator/parasite mimics harmless organism
