Mammal Adaptations
Stink fights and earwax,
Trunks, tunnels, and two-foot tongues,
Odd adaptations.
Not Lazy, Well-Adapted
Sloths just hang in trees,
As algae grows on their fur,
Green coat hiding them.
A Star-Nosed Mole
Fleshy tentacles
Form a star, touching, feeling,
Searching for dinner.
An Elephant's Trunk
That nose is part hose,
Snorkel, straw, fork, and alarm,
And, of course, sniffer.
Can you haiku?
Mammals have all kinds
of marvelous adaptations
to help them survive.
But do you know
how lemurs settle
an argument?
You might already know that giraffes have long
necks to help them reach leaves on tall trees.
And that cheetahs are super fast,
so they can catch a quick dinner.
