| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How is sight adapted for birds? | .They have super sight .Some have more light receptor cells called rods and cone. (More than we do) |
| How is sound adapted for birds? | .Can detect shorter and lower sounds than we can. .Helps hear soft contact calls .Helps recognise other bird calls. |
| How is smell adapted for birds? | .Helps some track down food. .Kiwi finds food entirely from smell. (Has nostrils on tip of its beak) |

| How is sound adapted for mammals? | .Evolution of the middle ear ossicles was a key innovation .enhancing the transmission of air borne sound. (Making it louder) |
| How is smell adapted for mammals? | .Have a large range of smells. (Some is better than others.) .Dogs are good at sniffing, but elephants are better. .Insects use their pores on their body to pick up scents. |
| How is touch adapted for mammals? | .Sensory hairs are specialised to detect movement. .This is through direct contact with objects in the environment/due to passive deflection by the air fluid medium in which they are immersed. . |
| How is taste adapted for mammals? | .Taste sweet, bitter, salty and sour |
