ADAPTATIONS OF RABBITS

Each adaptation, like the teeth, the long ears,

and the rapid reproduction rate are an

essential survival tool that has kept the rabbit population of the world abundant and safe from

predators.

Fur colourWhile arctic rabbits have a whitish fur colour to

camouflage the white background of winter, but in autumn the same colour changes to

brown or reddish to mingle with the surroundings. European rabbits have a colour

similar to the shades of the ground too.

KOMODO DRAGON’S ADAPTATION

These lizards can reach lengths of 10 feet and weigh up to 300 pounds.

They are very aggressive meat eaters and are known to take down animals as big as deers.

Their jaws work so hard that the Komodo dragon grows four new sets of teeth per year.

Page 11: ADAPTATION OF RABBIT  &  KOMODO DRAGON

The Komodo dragon has very deadly bacteria present in its saliva at all times. This bacteria is not harmful to the dragon, but if the dragon bites another animal, that animal will die of disease within a week.

The Komodo dragon will then use its giant claws and powerful jaws to rip apart the prey,

swallowing chunks of meat whole. Usually, when a Komodo Dragon attacks, it usually ambushes it's

prey and lunges at its prey's throat first. One Komodo was recorded consuming 85% of its body

weight in one sitting. There are only 5,000 Komodo dragons living in the wild.
