This tree has gone under modifications to its roots so that it may survive while underwater. Otherwise without the roots being taller than the water it would drown and die. Since this tree lives in the Louisiana swamps, the modifications are necessary for it's life.

 Im using this ivy to show a plant adaptation that has occurred within New Orleans. This ivy has made itself capable of surviving on the sides of weathering and brick surfaces. As you can see it has made this adaption in the side of this house.

When an alligator reproduces with another alligator, they lay eggs. These eggs are called amniotic eggs. Amniotic eggs are eggs that are produced by reptiles, birds, and egg laying mammals. These eggs are calcium based and can be leathery.

On the end of the stick that the alligator is jumping for is some chicken, though this chicken is already dead. This can be called predation, which is when a predator feeds on its prey and many times on boat tours the prey is chicken. The alligator will use the nutrients to nourish its body.

An alligator, just like most animals, shows bilateral symmetry. Which means that if cut down the middle long ways it will have an equal amount of appendages and features, just like the other side.
