This document contains information about various animals found in the Licky Hills environment and their interactions. It discusses how rabbits and grass snakes have adapted camouflage to avoid predators like hawks. It also explains how a hawk preys on rabbits and snakes as it is well adapted for hunting with wings and size. Additionally, it shows a graphical data chart tracking the population of lynx and hares over time, indicating their relationship as predator and prey and how external factors can impact the ecosystem.

Prey-An animal taken by a predator as food.
Predator- An animal that eats another animal
it victimises and destroys for its own benefit.
This is my predator and
it is a hawk. Hawks are
particularly huge and

is mostly found in green areas its scales
are the colour green which gives it and
advantage to avoid its predator.

4. A host is an organism or a cell
that a parasite lives or feeds
of.
An example of a host is a dog
that has fleas.
the relationship that a parasite
shares with a host is that
supposedly a parasite was
referred to have organisms which
had life stages and needed more
than one host (organism)

5. This grass snake has adapted to its environment over a number of reasons such as
the colour which allows this snake to camouflage its predators such as hawks. It has
also adapted to its environment as this particular snake is located in Birmingham
ion the licky hills which means in order to survive it has to feed on food and here in
Birmingham especially since there are rats that this snake can eat so the capture of
food is quite easy for it. It is also safe and snake's main adaptation to life is its very
form. With no legs, arms, ears, it can slither through grass or among rocks without
causing disturbance that might frighten prey. It can enter narrow holes in the
ground made by rodents, find those rodents and eat them

6. Rabbits have many adaptations to the environment such as long ears these
help them to listen to nearby predators. Also there ears are shaped so that
they can detect the direction of a sound very specifically and accurately. Also if
you look pacifically at there eyes you can see that they are placed on the side of
there heads this is very useful as it allows them to see at a full 360 degrees
angle. Further more the area they live in which is the licky hills is useful as
the grass may be easy to run on as they have strong hind legs. Wild rabbits in
countries like England are camouflaged in various shades of brown to help
them blend in with woodland surroundings.

7. Hawk & rabbit
These two animals one predator and one
prey both express how they interact with
the ecosystem over time. One example of
this could be that the fact the rabbit (prey)
has an advantage of defending itself by the
specialities that it posses such as its legs.
whereas the hawk is a predator who is also
at an advantage because he is the one who This is here is an example of a

8. This is an example of a graphical data chart it shows the impact and ecosystem overtime. As you can
see this particular chart shows that over time there is a continuous pattern indicating that in 1850 the
population of the lynx was just about 3 thousand and the hare was 40 thousand this means that in 1850
the existence of the hares was increased however, near the year of 1875 it seems that the hare has
rapidly grown. This is because the hares were reproducing babies which also increases there
population-the lynx however seems to be staying below 6 thousand this could mean that the lynx are
not reproducing enough babies or because they are being hunted by humans, as there fur is used for
human materials. In addition, in 1900 there is an unusual balance between the two animals it seems
the lynx and the hare both have fallen this is because the reason for the hare have not been having
babies or they have been eaten by the lynx my second reason for the lynx is because through time they
seem to be decreasing and staying below 6 thousand and not reproducing babies. My big conclusion
about why they might both decrease in terms of their existence it may be because there actual habitats
are being destroyed (trees being cut down)
Further more, towards the end of the graph both animals seem to be at the same level but towards the
end the lynx seems to be the animal that is currently showing, that in the future they may no longer
seem to exist in our world.
