Video Reflection

I learnt a lot about survival from this video, I learnt the main ways of survival are camouflage, attack, defense, deception and adaptation. Take the turtle for example, it does not deceive, camouflage all it does is defend itself with its shell. Other animals survive my going in groups, so that their chance of success is bigger, but then the food must be shared. Other animals feed of deception, for instance the fox, it pretends to be dead and when birds jump on it to eat it, it grabs one and feeds away. Sometimes survival is hard, vouchers must fly up to 60 miles for 1 meal. In order to attack, animals are taught from a young age, the mother fox teaches its children to fight. Many animals have unique ways of defending themselves, for instance the puffer fish, when it gets attacked it bloats up and poisons its enemy. There are also unique ways of attacking, the snapping turtle deceives its enemy's by sticking its tongue out which looks like a worm then when the prey arrives it just snaps his mouth close and enjoys its food. All in all, from this video i learnt how unique each animal is and how each animal adapts in a different way and develops its own survival technique.
