Question
What are dolphins, horses, and modern humans adapted for? Handwrite all parts of answer texts. You may continue on the back of each page if necessary. Also, you can illuminate your answers with additional handwritten text, illustrations, drawings, diagrams, photos, and prints on BOTH sides of up to FOUR additional 8%" x 11" sheets of paper. Make sure all are clearly labeled. DOLPHINS: Dolphin Skull including: 1. the "telescoped" cranial and facial bones and features 2. aquatic breathing and sound generating system (nasal opening (blowhole), lungs, air passages, phonic lips, melon, etc.) 3. Food acquisition and processing system (jaws, jaw muscles, dentition) 4. Aquatic hearing (echolocation, communication) system (from acoustic window to fat pad in hollow mandible to auditory bullae with an involucrum up autic nerve to large and complex brain for echo interpretation, etc.) Aquatic Locomotor (swimming) System (torpedo shaped body, front limb (flipper for steering), hind limb (vestigial), spine (flexibility, , musculature) tail (flukes), etc.)Explanation / Answer
Dolphins adapt to their environment by various factors. They are swimming speed and duration, it's fusiform shape is really important for dolphins for swimming. It will breath through the hole presented in head's top surface. Bottlenose dolphins generally hold it's breath for up to 12 minutes. Dolphins will implement many thermoregulatory strategy to survive. It will store body fat as thick layer of blubber, that will helps in insulating and conserve heat.
Horses will adapt themselves through their long legs which helps in walking through grasslands. Their eyes are adapted on the back side of the head hence it will be useful in looking around for longer distance. Hooves makes the horse to walk on hard surfaces too, sturdy helps to move quickly to escape from predators.
Modern humans adapt more easily than any other species. Humans adapt through modern technologies which are beneficial to themselves.
