Post 6: Sketches of my organism (including improvements made to my organism along the way)

Sketch 1

Sketch 2

This is my second sketch. After looking at the adaptive feature of my organism’s predator, I realized that strong, hind legs were not enough for the organism to escape. Hence, I decided to add the feature of the tube, which squirts a powdery substance. A pleasant smell emanates from this powdery substance, which would be carried by the strong winds to the predators. Thus, the predator will be deluded and this would give more time for my organism to escape.

Sketch 3

This is the final sketch of my organism. I have added an organ which produces seductive sounds to attract mates. My group mates commented that the organism is not very pleasing in terms of appearance and hence, it would be hard for mating. Thus, I decided to add this adaptation so as for mating to occur in ease and therefore, ensure the continuity of this organism’s kind.
