Their ears are used to regulate heat and assist in heat loss in the warm climate  \nButterfly  \nThe pattern and appearance on this species is used as a deterrent for predators. The two spots can be mistaken for two large eyes by a predator, therefore avoiding predation  \nCamel  \nLong eyelashes help to keep sand out of the eyes, and nostrils in the shape of slits to prevent sand from entering the nasal cavity. Additionally, this species urine is highly concentrated to reduce water loss  \nDolphin  \nCountershading prevents organisms above, seeing this species below (due to its dark colour) . Contrastingly, if a predator is beneath this species, they are unable to distinguish this species swimming above due to its light colour underneath  \nElephant  \nThe ears assist in heat loss as they are highly vascularised. The large total surface area to volume ratio helps this species to maximise heat loss  \nEucalyptus Tree  \nLeaves hang downward to prevent excessive exposure to sunlight, which also reduces water loss  \nFennec Fox  \nThis species has a fur colour similar to its environment to camouflage itself from other predators. Additionally the large highly vascularised ears help to lower body temperature to prevent excessive heating  \nHummingbird  \nThe small size of this species, and the shape of the beak allows this species to reach far into the flowers’ centre to feed on the nectar  \nKangaroo  \nThis species cools down and lowers its body temperature by licking their forearms, as they have a large capillary network close to the surface of their skin. This species also uses their tail asa counterweight for balance  \nKatydid  \nThis species camouflages very efficiently with its environment, often having the appearance and blending in with the leaves around it  \nMangrove Leaf  \nThis species grows in salt rich environments, such as tidal regions. To overcome this, the species has salt excreting glands on the leaves to removing excess salt, which appears as salt crystalson the leaves  \nMonstera  \nThis species lives in rainforests. The leaves are split to allow the water to easily run off the surface. Without the splits, the water would damage the leaves due to the weight and impact of the water coming in contact  \nOctopus  \nThis species has the ability to camouflage from predators. Chromatophores change the colour and appearance. The change of colour or pattern often resembles that of the surrounding environment to avoid predation  \nOpuntia microdasys Cactus  \nThe spines are modified leaves which are to deter animals from consuming the flesh  \nOrchid Mantis  \nThis species camouflages with the flower on which it resides. This species quickly captures insects with its mandibles when an insect lands on the flower to feed  \nPenguins  \nThis species has heavily insulated bodies (blubber) to conserve heat in the cold temperatures. This species often huddles with other individuals to conserve and maintain body heat  \nPitcher Plant  \nThis is a carnivorous plant. Nectar around the brim and down the tube of this plant attracts and lures prey. The liquid in the tube contains digestive enzymes to consume the prey  \nPolar Bear  \nThe thick layer of blubber helps this species store energy. The small ears reduces excess heat loss in the cold climate  \n\n| Seal\u003Cbr>A thick layer of blubber helps this species stay warm. The streamlined body helps with agility when diving, searching and capturing prey | Spinifex Hopping Mouse\u003Cbr>This species has solid urine to limit water loss. This species forages for food at dusk and during the night to avoid predation | Sundew Plant\u003Cbr>The nectar lures insects to feed. Once in contact with the tentacles, the insects become stuck to the plant from the glue like droplets on the end of the tentacles |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Toucan\u003Cbr>This species has a highly vascularised beak which is used to thermoregulate.
