Adaptations of sea cave creatures.



What are some typical adaptations for these animals, and why?
- the typical adaptations are lack of pigmentation, reduction in the size of eyes and development of sensory mechanisms that do not depend on light for detecting food or predator helping them to live in a different environment.

Why is oxygen NOT plentiful in caves, and how do creatures deal with the lack of oxygen?
- anchialine caves tend to be oxygen-depleted because there is no photosynthesis and very limited water circulation in the caves. Those adaptations help them to reduce the oxygen.

Why do adaptation occur?
- adaptation happen with random events, and if they provide an advantage, the organism is more likely to survive and reproduce than other organism with these some adaptations.
