      Earl Joseph Garcia June 18, 2017 Biology Sunday Species          The Brachychiton acerifolius  species is from the Mallows family in the Brachychiton genus. Flame trees came to Saipan due to Francisco Borja Kaipat while working for the Marianas agriculture program. In the 1960s, he worked with a group that planted 800-900 flame tree seeds. Other organisms similar to the Delonix Regia flame tree are Millettia pinnata (Indian Beech), Samanea saman (Rain Tree). and Delonix Regia (Poinciana Flame tree).  http://hafa-adai.blogspot.com/2006/07/flame-tree-fact-sheet-first-draft.html http://www.growmeinstead.com.au/plant/poinciana-flame-tree.aspx http://www.arkive.org/flame-tree/delonix-regia/image-G10876.html

Adaptations Organism #1 : This animal is a type of bird with dark-like features in its body. This animal's dark like feature helps it survive in its environment by helping it be like the color of its surroundings. This animal kept going out and in of its habitat, and we wouldn't have any idea where it went because it was so dark inside the tree. I believe that this animal was hunting for worms because it landed on the ground and looked like it started stomping its feet on the ground like what birds do to find worms. Organism #2 : This is another bird, unlike organism #1 this bird has light-like feature. This light-like feature I believe helps it hide from predators because they mostly hunt in the sand. Upon my examination, this creature seems to be a seagull. This bird kept going in the ocean in search of marine food such as fish. I reckon this bird was in a group, hunting for food as I saw this bird tail other birds, creating a murmuration. Organism #3 : This

Site Description The site that I have chosen is in Memorial Park in Garapan. Memorial Park is an environment with a lot of biotic and abiotic factors. Some abiotic factors in the environment are the blue ocean, the hard soil, rocks, sand, shells, benches, the slide, and swings. Some biotic factors in the park are animals such as seagulls, kingfishers, doves, hermit crabs, and fish. There are also trees, and plants like coconut trees, pine trees, flame trees,  plumeria flowers, and hibiscus.
