Question
：
Task 6
using
points
and
examples
from
the
lecture
，
explain
the
two
different
types
of
physical
variations some animals use to defend themselves.
Listening
Most
animals
have
ways
to
protect
themselves.
They
require
defenses
since
virtually
every
animal
is
potential
prey
for
another
animal
higher
on
the
food
chain.
So,
over
countless
generations,
animals
have
developed
various
ways
to
protect
themselves.
Interestingly,
some
are
categorized
as
defensive
while others are
considered offensive adaptations.
Let‘s
look at the defensive
adaptations first. Look at the picture
in
your
book
on
page
242.
It
is
a
turtle,
right?
You
have
all
seen them. Some of you may even have
had pet turtles. But did
you know
they
’
ve actually developed
two defensive methods?
The first is the
most obvious. It is the shell. The shell covers
the
turtle
’
s
entire body, including its vital organs. The shell
is very
hard. Most predators give up
trying to bite through it. But take
a
look
at
the
neck.
It
’
s
really
long.
Oh,
a
weak
point,
right?
Wrong.
The
turtle
has
a
flexible
neck,
so
it
can
easily
fold
its
neck
back into its shell when danger comes along.
But
remember,
some
adaptations
are
offensive.
Look
at
the
picture on
the opposite page. You may not be familiar with
the
animal. It is a hedgehog. Now, look
at those spines on its back.
