HELLO Last week we created an Ecosystem. We did this in groups and used materials to make them. I was in a group with Renae and Ruby. Everyone made their ecosystem inside of a box but my group made a cake to show our creation, our habitat we decided to make was the Arctic.
After that we had to chose a prey and a predator to go in our habitat. My group chose an arctic fox as the predator and a polar bear as the our prey.
How we made our cake was by buying a cake and making white icing as the snow. We then made a polar bear and an arctic fox out of fondant, and a fox.
The reason the Arctic is suited for Arctic foxes is because Arctic foxes have several adaptations that allow them to survive. Their round, compact bodies minimize surface area that is exposed to the cold air.
As well as for Polar Bears they rely on sea ice to access the seals that are their primary source of food, as well as to rest and breed.
Sea ice is a special feature of the Arctic, and most wildlife there depend on it in some way.
Here is a photo of the cake we made.
