Mutated Animal Project: Josie And Jordyn


Animal: Kangaroo Rat. Climate: Desert
1. Bigger arms resulting in it being easier to dig holes in the ground to get away from the many predators it has. It will also make then be able to jump a little higher with being able to use their arms to take off and jump higher than they already can also making it easier to get away from larger predators and large slow predators.
2. Negative mutation would be to decrease the ears. Decreasing the ears makes it harder to hear predators approaching. The Kangaroo rat would be soon extinct if it had small ears and bad hearing.
3.  The colour of the rat would be changed. It will not affect the survival. The Rat might be black, or white, a darker brown or grey. Other than the appearance it will not be affected in any way.

1. This is a kangaroo rat with no ears.

2. This is if the kangaroo rat had long arms.


3. This is an example of a Neutral Mutation. This Kangaroo rat is Grey/White and not the normal light brown colour.
