= **In order to create a biome we need animals and some animals chosen to be included in the biome consist of.............** =
 * ===== **The water lilies (which happen to be the species BEAR was able to save.)** =====
 * ===== **The bee** =====
 * ===== **Frogs** =====
 * ===== **Fish** =====
 * ===== **Squirrels** =====
 * ===== **Deer** =====
 * ===== **Python** =====
 * ===== **Deciduous trees** =====
 * ===== **Aphids** =====
 * ===== **Hawks** =====

**__Fish____-__ The fish adapted by having colors to blend in and hide from predators and have strong fins to swim fast to move away from predators. The fish also contribute to the food web by eating small insects, water plants and frog eggs they are also a food source for hawks. ** __**Frogs-**__ **Frogs have strong legs to swim and colors that blend in to hide from predators. Frogs also have skin that absorbs oxygen and long tongues to reach out for insects to get food. They affect the food web by eating water lilies at times and eating in coming insects. The frog also use the lilies for shelter and protection.** __**Squirrels-**__ __**Deer-**__ __**Python-**__ __**Deciduous** **trees-**__ __**Aphids-**__ __**Hawks-**__
 * __Water lilies__- The water lilies are able to live in this biome because the are some what big and can gain more sunlight. The lilies also have long and strong roots to help them stay in place so they don't get swept away in big floods and storms. Water lilies have thorns to protect from pedators too.****They also provide food for fish and shelter for frogs.**=====
 * __Bees-__ Bees have stingers so they can protect themselves from predators and fuzzy legs to collect pollen and an antenna to communicate. Bees also help pollinate flowers and can provide food for frogs.**
 *  Squirrels can climb trees to escape predators and have small bodies to fit into small places. They can be hard to spot because their brown fur mixes in with the colors of the trees. They also affect the food chain by providing food for python and hawk and by spreading seeds of the deciduous trees around to create more trees. **
 * Deer are able to bled in with trees,run fast with strong legs, detect predators with good hearing and fight of predators with big antlers. They also provide food food pythons and eat the trees leaves.**
 * Pythons can puke out animals to gain speed and loose weight. They also blend in with surroundings. Pythons affect the food web by eating deer and squirrels and is eaten by hawks.**
 * Deciduous trees have colorful flowers to attract bees and make fruits that have seeds needed for reproduction. And the loose leaves when it gets to cold outside. The trees affects the web because it is a base of the food web and if it was to disappear the food web would be almost destroyed.**
 * Aphids can suck juices from trees for food and also can grow wings to get to knew areas. The aphid also reproduces faster. The aphid affects the food web by eating trees and providing food for new incoming birds.**
 * The hawk has good eyesight to find food and sharp beak and talons to get food. The hawk affects the food web by eating small rodents and the pythons and fish.**

**Relationships....**
** __Parasitism__ (-,+)- Deciduous trees and aphids** **The aphid sucks juices out of the tree. The tree is harmed and aphid benefits.** ** __Commensalism__ (0,+)- Squirrels and deciduous trees** **The squirrel (benefits) gets food and shelter and the tree is unaffected.** ** __Mutualism__ (+,+)- Water lilies and bees** **The flower gets pollinated and the bee gets necter. They both benefit.** ** __Predation__ (+,-) - Hawks and fish** **Hawks eat the fish. So the hawk benefits and fish is killed.**
