Document Summary
Evolution over billions of years has led to the formation of millions of species, each one di erent from the next. The world is an almost unbelievable menagerie of the strange and incredible. With the aim of exploring this amazing diversity, choose 1 species that you think exempli es adaptation at its most extreme: write a paragraph about its habitat, distribution, physical characteristics, and its systematic classi cation (i. e. family, order, genus, etc. ). Note if any of this information is unknown or you were unable to locate it. In another paragraph, describe that aspect of its natural history (e. g. behavior, physical trait) that you nd most interesting, something that is not common knowledge. Discuss potential hypotheses for the adaptive bene t of the trait. Do not choose an organism or adaptation mentioned during lecture. The iucn (international union for conservation of nature) is the world"s rst global environmental organization, established in 1948.
