To Modern Animal To Extinct Animal =GeneralInformation of Gasse By Samson Ho=

=Gasse hunts[| fish]and [|shrimp]= =The Gasse is a possibility of what the [|Goose] may haveevolved into in 250 million years. This future animal is similar to the Goose,but it is a different species.= = = =Domain - Eukarya= =Kingdom - Animalia= =Phylum - Chordata= =Subphylum - Vertebrata= =Class - Aves= =Order - Anseriformes= =Family - Anatidae= =Genus - //Branta//= =Species – //Gasse//= = = =**__Habitat__** In year 2100, the world will be violently differently from now due toglobal warming, Gasses will be only found in tropical and wet regions. Theypreferred breeding habitat is tundra, which means Gasse can be found in theNorthern United States during breeding season. TheCanada Gasse lives in a wide variety of habitats including lakes, bays, rivers,and marshes. They breed around marshes and waters in the early springmonths.= = = =The Gasse move to warmer climatesareas in the fall from September to November when water temperature begins tofall and freeze. They will arrive to the coast of British Columbia or NorthernMexico at late October to January, which they will need strong wings and lightbody weight to fly this amount of long distance.= = = == = = =**__Structural Adaptation 1 (Colour)__**= =The Gasse have totally differentcolour from the goose. The colour of the Gasse is more brighter due to global warming,it helps to keep Gasse warm. Gasse have much shorter fur than goose to helpprotect itself against the hot weather. It helps to cool down their bodytemperature. The selection pressure that caused this was that it increases thechance of survivability of Gasse.= = = = = =**__Structural Adaptation 2 (Skeleton)__**= =The Gasse have the same skeleton as Goose, which is adjustedfor flight, it is weightless and powerful which is a essential component forflight. The muscles are located in the center of the body such as the chest,the bases of the wings and legs. Most of the bones are fused together to have astrong, light frame. The skeleton of Gasse makes up only 5% of his body weight!Due to the lack of diaphragm in Gasse, they have evolved from air sacs aroundtheir lungs. Gasse breathing system is much more effective than mammals. Theycan use 25% more oxygen each breath compared to a mammal. The selectionpressure that caused this was that Gasse can escape from predators much faster.= = = = = = = =**__Behavioural Adaptation 1 (Mating)__**= =Gasse prefer to mate on water. Gasse only swim when it is only requiredin the breeding season. The condition of gasse is improved generally and helpsto keep them clean and also helps to keep eggs clean.= =Gasseare very careful in choosing their mates and, once they succeeded mating, they willremain together for life. Gasse are sometimes difficult to mate. Sometimes agander will not mate with one or two of the females, which mean fertility andhatchability, will be lowered. The selection pressure that causes this was itincreases the chance of successful reproduction.= =**__﻿__**= =**__Behavioural Adaptation 2 (Danger)__**= =When Gasse senses danger, they will react the same withGoose, they will spread their wings and honk loudly for warning the enemies,they will stomp toward the direction of safety, herding the rest of the groupin front of them. This is how humans control ducks, with arms outspread like aset of wings, and it works like magic. The smaller birds and the geese allrespect that gesture. The selection pressure that caused this was it scares offthe predator and much better chance to survive\= = = = = =**__Physiological Adaptation (Circulatory System)__**= =Gasse have a very efficient circulatory system which is usedto maintain body temperature. Gasse have a four chambered heart that hasseparation of deoxygenated and oxygenated blood. They have large hearts that are necessary for flight. The selection pressure that caused this was that itis necessary= =for flight=
