MRSGREN
Otter
By
Sophie and Kirsten
Movement
They move by paddling their hind limbs and sculling with their tails. For rapid swimming and for diving, they swim similarly to other otters, using up-and-down undulations of the body.
Respiration
They also have webbed feet, water repellent fur to keep them dry and warm, and nostrils and ears that close in the water. They remain active in winter, using ice holes to surface and breathe. They can hold their breath underwater for some eight minutes
Sensitivity
Otters have the same sense as humans but struggle with there sight.
Growth
Like most other otter species, giant otters come ashore to give birth. Females retreat to their underground dens and deliver litters of one to six young. Young otters remain in the den for a month but grow up quickly. After nine or ten months, it is difficult to tell mother from child.
Reproduce
They produce by having a male and a female.
Otters are ready to reproduce when they are from 2 to 3 years of age.
Excretion
The Sea Otters digest food through the mouth and the excrete it though there rectum small intestine, large intestine
Nutrition
They normally eat small fishes in the water, and bring larger prey to shore. Shellfish-eating clawless otters catch prey with their paws.
Hi, Sophie I really liked how you remembered to put your labels as Inquiry.I also liked how you designed your otter picture.The only thing that I will improve about the picture is to make the words bolder and more easy to read.
ReplyDeleteok thx
ReplyDeleteKia ora Sophie,
ReplyDeleteIt's Miss McCombie from Belfast School. I teach Y7/8. I really enjoyed reading your information on MRSGREN in relation to otters. Was this part of a Biology lesson?
I love that your poster is clear. I would have chosen another for the colour for the writing so it stands out better.
What is your next lesson on?
Thanks,
Miss McCombie
Hi yes it was part of a Biology lesson
ReplyDeleteWe do one lesson a week on biology i will tell you after I have done the lesson and blog it.
Thx
