Explore the diversity of animal adaptations and their significance in enabling survival in different environments.
Understand the importance of studying animal adaptations for conservation efforts and biodiversity preservation.

Discussion Prompt:
Listen to the "Ologies" animal podcast episode on animal adaptations (choose a topic from the animal episodes that interests you). Choose one fascinating adaptation discussed in the episode and explain how it allows an animal to survive in its environment. Discuss the importance of understanding animal adaptations for conservation efforts and biodiversity preservation.

Or you can explore another interesting podcast if you are into superheroes called "The Biology of Superheroes". Again, choose a topic that appeals to you. Unfortunately, there haven't been any new episodes since 2020, which is a bummer. What adaptation did the superhero obtain? How does the superhero relate to animal structure and function?
