Now change something in the biome. How might it affect your animal?

Would the fennec fox survive in the desert?

It would likely survive well here. It might survive, but it could be hard. It would probably not survive here.

Use clues about the animal and biome. Why do you think this?

Think about food, water, shelter, temperature, and body features.

What feature or behaviour might help this animal in a different or more challenging environment?

Imagine a useful trait in a population over many generations—not a change an individual chooses to make.

What might still be difficult?
