Identify an organism that lives within 50 miles of your home.

Locate a diagram of that organism that has the main organs and structures labeled. Be sure to properly cite your diagram and pictures.

• Identify the structures and functions of the main organs found in your selected organism.
• Explain how the organism in the diagram has evolved physiologically to become suited to its environment.
• If the organism were to be transplanted to a significantly different environment, how would things change? 
• Would their organ system still be as efficient?  Why or why not? 
• Would the organism survive in this new environment?  Why or why not?

Include the diagram and other appropriate pictures in your paper and make sure to provide a full reference for the images in your reference section.
