The Galapagos Islands~~~

Lots of animals on the Galapagos Islands are unique and the only way they could survive in such harsh climate was because they adapted to suit their surroundings. The islands are located in the Archipelago off the west coast of South America. The Galapagos islands are made up of 16 islands and as each island ages, they become smaller  and smaller. The reason is that over time, the islands sink under their own weight and weather also eventually carves it away.
The Marine Iguana is an animal that has done a lot of adaption. They used to be land iguanas that floated to the Galapagos on rafts made of vegetation. They adapted to having longer tails and black skin because their tails help them swim and their black skin attracts heat.
The Galapagos Waved Albatross spends most of their time on wing and they land once a year at Espanola to breed. 35,000 settle there every year. Their enormous wings have a wingspan of 2 1/2 metres.
For social studies next term we should definitely do history about China because China has one of the longest and most interesting histories.
