Grade 8 Antarctica Assignment: Proving Special Flora & Fauna Adaptation

[ShadowChaotic]

Hey there,

I have to do a grade 8 assignment on Antarctica, and prove that this quote is correct:

While Antarctica is a difficult place for plants and animals to adapt, there are special flora and fauna found there.

I have to also research cold deserts and the adaptation of at least one cold desert plant or animal.

I was just wondering if someone could give me some tips for my assignment, if anyone could help that'd be greatly appreciated.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctica

look for extra links toward the bottom of the page

and maybe look for information on penguins, whales, krill, pinnipeds

and

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctic_flora

One can also find much with a google search "Antarctica","noun" where noun=flora, fauna, . . . .

G'day ShadowChaotic (and Astonuc too)

On this one I would recommend using a web search engine using key words like "cold desert", flora, fauna
Here is a site listing a collection of search engines.
