This horse is an example of an endotherm. An endotherm organism is an organism that regulates it's own body temperature. This horse is warm-blooded. To help regualte temperature this horse has sweat glands that can help cool the horse off. This picture was taken at the Saratoga Race Track.
A Frond is a plant that has a seperated look. This is a very young plant that is considered frond. It is a fern that will eventually grow bigger with more distinct seperation within the leaves. The blade like leaves are part of the plant that makes it 'Frond'. This picture was taken in Florida, in my grandparents yard.
This beetle is an example of an exoskeleton. The exoskeleton protects the animal with a hard shell on the outside. The beetle here had a very hard outside body, that was used to protect itself from any bigger predators. I found this beetle hanging out near the pool.
This is a picture of a pollinator. It's a bee that was found near the woods. My ring is not in the picture, well because it's a bee.. Pollinators go around to different plants leaving pollen on the plants. Once the pollen lands, the plants can reproduce. This bee was flying between this tree and some smaller flowering plants.

This is an example of pollen on a flower in my friend's backyard. The pollen is a fine powder that first lands on top of the plant. You can see some pollen on the tip of the flower in this picture. Once the pollen lands, it germinates and the flower starts to reproduce.
The evergreen tree in this picture is a great example of a conifer leaf. The conifer leaf does not flower. The seeds of this leaf are on the surface of the leaf. The leafs have a needlike look to them. This evergreen tree was at a Christmas tree farm near my house.
A cacti is an obvious example of an adaptation of a plant. The spikes this cacti has, is an adaptation to defend itself from water seeking animals. Also this cacti has a waxy-like stem that is used to store water. The stem is enlarged so that it can hold more water. This cacti lives in my grandparents yard in Florida.
Another kind of lead is a deciduous leaf. Deciduous leaves fall off after maturing usually seasonally. There are many types of trees that are consider deciduous. This deciduous tree is a maple tree found in a backyard.
Well done!
