Readings: Diversity of Life, Evolution processes, and Tabletop Science Lab 6: Genetics
Objective: To examine evolution and how changes occur.
Hello everyone,
Your readings and lab assignment cover the evolution its mechanisms, evidence, and misconceptions. We also read about how we can classify life into distinct categories based upon common traits.
This week we will have some fun exploring the amazing biodiversity on earth! Pick one species as your favorite creature! It could be an animal, plant, fungus, or bacteria. Humans and pets are excluded. Use reliable information sources to research this creature and answer at least 3 of these questions:
Which other species is your favorite creature related to and what are some of its ancestors?
What makes your favorite creature unique compared to other species?
Are there any concerns about the population status of your species? Is its population affected by human activities? Explain.
What is your favorite creature's geographic range? In which ecosystem/biome does it live?
How does your favorite creature fit into the food web? What does it eat? And who eats it?

Siberian Tigers
My favorite creature is the Siberian Tiger, also called the Amur tiger. Its scientific name is Panthera tigris altaica. They are the biggest tiger species in the world and the largest member of the cat family “Felidae.” What makes these tigers unique are their muscular physique and a preference for colder climates. Also, Siberian Tigers are a unique type of cat because they appear to like water and bathing, as they are less tolerant of heat compared to other big cats. Thus, they have a paler orange color compared to other tigers. Also, the fur of the Siberian tiger is thicker, coarse, and spares than other tigers in the area they belong to. As the winter comes, the tiger’s fur adjusts in fuzziness and color. In the summer, the tiger’s coat is coarse, while in the winter, their fur becomes longer, denser, softer, and silkier.
