1. Flamingos adapted to their environment which allows them to stand in very deep water. Flamingos also have broad webbed feet which allows them to remain stable of uneven or soft grounds. Their webbed feet allows flamingos to float above the water for a short amount of time when the waters are too deep. Their strong webbed feet help steer them to food.

22. Like humans, amphibians or plants, cellular respiration in fish occurs the same way. The one thing that makes fish different is that they get their oxygen from the water through their gills. Cellular respiration is one of the main ways that fish and all other living organisms gain useful energy to aid cellular activity.

11. An autotroph is a producer, which creates its own food, which is then transferred into carbohydrates which are energy rich molecules. The plants survive by using energy from the light (photosynthesis). Autotrophs are very important in both the food chain and balancing out the ecosystems of the world because autotrophs are used as food for other organisms which are used for energy and raw materials. 

4. The ostrich eggs shown in this photo are and example of an amniotic egg. These eggs are fertilized which gives the future baby ostriches both nutrients and protection from the other animals in the Disney Safari!

49. The giraffes we spotted while in Disney are heterotroph's because they eat leaves from the trees shown in the background giving the mommy and baby energy that keeps them running.
