7. Ways Some Species Survive Emigration Adapt Adaptation

8. Do some species survive when habitats change? Emigration: When a species leave in search of new habitat. Some species stay and still survive they adapt to the changing habitat.

9. The Eggatuffs Millions of years ago many different animals roamed the planet. Some no longer live. Some die out because other animals ate their eggs, killing their offspring needed to start new population. Activity on Eggatuffs

10. What special adaption did the Eggatuff have that other animals didn’t? What would happen if Eggatuff eggs were soft? What if some eggs were soft and some were hard? Activity split into groups And work on Activity sheet 1.3A and 1.3B

Then write a species that was save from extinction and why?

12. Passenger Pigeon No one could believe that The passenger pigeon could become extinct Because there were so many of them.The hunter Killed many splintering their Big colonies. Last passenger pigeon Martha, died in Cincinnati Zoo in 1914

13. On a Monument to the Pigeon “Our grandfathers were less well-housed, well-fed, well clothed than we are. The strivings by which they bettered their lot are also those which deprived us of pigeons. Perhaps we now grieve because we are not sure, in our hearts, that we have gained by the exchange…. For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun…. But we, who have lost our pigeons, mourn the loss. Had the funeral been ours, the pigeons would hardly have mourned us.”
