Animal Adaptations

After experimenting with mechanical insects but not really considering how their adaptations would be useful, I moved onto making a few functional alterations to mammals and birds. These "upgrades" are in no way scientifically correct or feasible... they are more comical.

After discussing with my group how the magpie has already adapted to urban environments, I began to think of ways that its adaptations could be taken to extremes. These included adding a handy "chest of draws" and a magnetic foot to aid the magpie in collecting shiny trinkets.
My adaptation for roadkill animals, rabbits in particular, was the addition of a headlight which prevents the "frozen in headlights" reaction that causes the deaths of so many bunnies...
These adaptations are quite ridiculous and were well fitting with the project as the animals are not really endangered and the drawings are only rough, however it did help me to grasp the concept of our theme a little better and enable me to move on to more appropriate animals.
