10 Weird Cases of Incredible Animal Evolution
Name __________________________________________ Date _______________ Class ______
Read each of the short sections about some very unique animals. As you read you are to see what
special adaptation they have developed to their environment and what caused that adaptation to
occur. If the article does not say directly, use your scientific reasoning and hypothesize as to what
you think might have occurred in their environment or to their species that would cause that
adaptation to occur. No aliens did not come down and zap them with ray guns and no, they weren’t
part of some strange nuclear accident. Be reasonable, use sound scientific thinking and put your
scientific detective brain to work.
