The Different Adaptations


First, there is the pencil-like roots. Then there is the broad and waxy leaves and finally the drip tips. These are the various precautions or adaptations by plants to help them to adapt to the environment.

Wildlife: Crabs & Mudskippers




Crabs and mudskippers are found in the littoral zones, the zone between low and high tides. Mudskippers are amphibious animals with a water chamber to store water while it is above the water for dissolved oxygen.

The Dragon's Scales


The Dragon's Scales, an epiphyte is a tiny and hardy fern. It is highly adapted for life on the branches of trees and paves the way for the establishment of other less hardy ferns.

Adaptation of Mangrove Trees


The pencil-like roots of the Avicennia branched upwards from the main horizontal roots that grow below the soil. These roots allow the absorbtion of atmospheric oxygen through specialized root cells known as lenticels. This adaptation is important, as mud that the mangrove trees grow extremely low in oxygen.

The Water Banana


The Water Banana bears two types of roots; those that look like bananas and those that anchor the plant to the soil.

The Rhizophora


The Rhizophora has roots that branch out from trunks like stilts. This helps to prop up the tree in the soft mud so that it will not topple with the ebbing and rising tide.
