AMAZING:

  • An organism is an individual plant or animal.
  • Most animals spend the greatest part of the day searching for food and eating!
  • Population is a group of individuals from a species living together in a certain area, e.g. Yellowwood trees, squirrels, fruit flies, marigolds and yellowfish.
  • The teeth, paws, nose and ears of every animal are specially adapted to what it eats (especially the jaws, mouth and teeth!)
