J.04. Describe how specific animals (e.g., grey squirrels, dromedary camels, polar bears, giraffes, beavers, whale sharks, tree frogs) and plants (e.g., turtle grass, giant sequoias, water lilies, saguaros, bearberries, powdery strap air plants) are adapted to their specific environments.
J.05. Evaluate how human activities can impact ecosystems.
