JAGUARS• Jaguars are big wildcats
that live in the rainforest. • Jaguars are nocturnal.
They are meat eaters and hunt at night.
• They use their black and yellow fur for camouflage.
• They swim very well in the water which is different from most other large cats.
• Jaguars live mostly alone except to mate. They have 1-4 cubs and the cubs stay with their mother for about 2 years.
• They use their claws to catch prey and to climb trees where they sleep.
Pitcher Plant• The Pitcher Plant is a
carnivorous plant. This means it does not make it’s own food, it eats insects.
• It’s shaped like a pitcher with brilliant colors to help trap insects and other creatures.
• The pitcher plant doesn’t touch the ground so it does not get the nutrients it needs to survive, therefore it has adapted to eating insects.
• The beautiful colored top leaf attracts the insects and other bugs.
• There are hairs that are inside the plant that the insect cannot climb against.
• Then the top leaf closes and the insect gets trapped in the fluid and drowns the bug.
