Adaptations
Students investigate animal adaptations and how species respond to environmental change. Using real examples from Orana Wildlife Park, students explore structural, behavioural, and physiological adaptations, examine how ecosystems stay in balance, and consider how habitat loss, climate change, disease, and introduced species affect survival.
