Evolutionary Creature in the Ice Age
I created a creature called the Bunnusoaious that lives in both the land
and the sea during the Ice Age. This creature evolved because brown rabbits
were getting rapidly eaten by the polar bears because they were the only prey
left after its other prey got extinct because of the ice age. It has a fin
which helps it navigate its way through the ocean when escaping from predators
on land. This creature spends most of its time on land which is indicated from
its bunny legs as it hops around on land to find food. It has two sharp and
long teeth to help it hunt for food in the water (fish) and on land (small mice
found in the snow). It two long ears to help it hear when its prey and
predators are nearby. It has fur on its fish-like body to help it survive the
cold. It is also the color white on the top to help it blend into the
surroundings so to not be hunted easily and is able to live in a habitat in the
snow. However, it also has blue on its belly to camouflage into the
water to escape its predators under water and white fur to
escape its predators on land. It also has gills to help it breath in the
water when it goes into the icy, cold ocean.
