The Animals

I choose the animals I was going to use very carefully so they would be easier to compare and contrast as it would be hard with an antelope and a spider. But all the birds had great problems with human disturbances as well as other things. The humans weren't always the greatest problem. They all had very different ways of catching and eating their food. The Zimbabwean bird fly across the surface of the water with its well adapted beak catching any fish that touches it. The Australian bird was completely different as it spent as much time as possible on the ground scavenging for food of any sorts and wasn't very picky. Whereas completely differently again the Chilean bird caught its food as if it was a duck and waited for it to come close then dive under the water catch it and bring it back up to eat it on the surface of the water. Another thing they had in common was the fact that they needed very specific habitats to live and breed in. These habitats were all becoming more human filled and therefore destroyed. I loved seeing the interesting little things the birds did and how different but similar some aspects of their lives were.
