====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Around 200 million years later, the world will be extremely different due to specific geographical issues. Countries will be separated from others even further compare to nowadays due to the volcanic activity and the earthquakes happened. ====

====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The Disguised Sea Urchin is famously known as the Strongylocentrotus Apsconditum which refers to “the ability to hide hidden secret”. The Disguised Sea Urchin appeared around 200 million years in the future due to the increase of temperature and the level of pollution that damaged the sea’s water quality. Also new adaptations of this new breed will be created in order to help surviving in the future. The test of The Disguised Sea Urchin is approximately 3 inches in diameter which is a bit bigger than the Purple Sea Urchin. ====

====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The Disguised Sea Urchin is omnivores which are same as the Night Buffalo and the Nova Carpere<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">ins tead of herbivores since the size of the test increased and new adaptations with new functions were added. Instead of eating sea plants such as kelps and algae, they will also eat small crustaceans such as krill, shrimps, prawns etc. Since more protein is contained inside the Disguised Sea Urchin’s body from the small crustaceans, their internal organs will attract more predators. The predators of the Disguised Sea Urchin are sea otter, eels, fishes with sharp teeth and the main predator- human kinds. ====

====<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">he quality of the water in the ocean can influence the sea urchins adaptations and behavior because they are really sensitive to any light, touch and especially chemicals. In the future, the ocean is going to be polluted with chemical waste and rubbish due to unorganized waste managements, spilling of oil in the ocean and Praya Reclamation Scheme that will happen in most of the country for the increase of urbanization. In researches, it proved that chemicals can affect the young sea urchin where full endoskeleton cannot grow properly. ====

====<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The Disguised Sea Urchin can be find on the coastline of the Finland all the way to the West Russia. The sea temperature over there is colder compare to other areas which is around 13-15 degree. Even though the Disguised Sea Urchin can live in both warm and cold temperature, it is more suitable for them to survive in colder area because in the future, sunlight will release radiation which will affect the habitat of the Sea Urchin. The Disguised Sea Urchin will be living in corals, kelps forest, lying on the ocean floor but mostly hiding inside limestone Also groups of Disguised Sea Urchin can be discover in urchin beds. However urchin beds can only be find in night time for protection. ====

 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Structural #1 **

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The Disguised Sea Urchin is going to have a pair of cat eyes located near the on top of the mouth. The Disguised Sea Urchin has a pair of cat eyes which can help them in night time. With the pair of cat eyes, it allows the sea urchin to hunt easier and allows them to look out for predators. Since the eyes are located in hidden areas, it allows them to search for predators without getting any notice from other marine animals. Also with the pair of eyes, the Disguised Sea Urchin can clearly hunt for prey without guessing for food with their sense.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The environmental pressure that could create this adaptation is that it allows more protection for the Disguised Sea Urchin. More protection was needed because many other kinds of the sea urchin were extinct due to mass hunting from the humans. Also since Disguised Sea Urchin is nocturnal, new adaptation are needed to help improve the lifestyle of sea urchins.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Structural #2 **

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The Disguised Sea Urchin has brownish yellow test and spines. The colour of the sea urchin allows them to camouflage better in their own habitat. From image 2, it clearly shows that the coral reef is badly polluted where there are barely any colours. Therefore the brownish yellow body colours allow the Disguised Sea Urchin to blend in with its environment easily for further protection.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The environmental pressure that led to this adaptation is due to the decreasing population of the Disguised Sea Urchin. Since sea urchin does not have any tails or fins, it creates difficulty to protect them when predators are attacking. However this marine animal is good at camouflaging to blend in with its environment, so the change of body colour allows the sea urchin to have a advanced hiding skills.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**Behavioral #1**

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The Disguised Sea Urchin is omnivores instead of being vegetarian. As mentioned above, being omnivores allows this marine animal to absorb more nutrients for their internal organs. This can led to new functions to be operating where the population of the Disguised Sea Urchin will not decrease.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The environmental pressure is that, since the sea is going to be polluted, many of the sea plants is either dead or polluted which can affect the health of the Sea Urchin. Also the Disguised Sea Urchin needed protein to regenerate new spines and too regenerate organs or to release gametes.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Behavioural #2 **

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The Disguised Sea Urchin is nocturnal because they are sensitive to light, chemicals and any touches. In night time, the sea urchin will be calmer and more focus when moving. The advantages being nocturnal is that since sea urchin developed good sensing, they can easily detect for moving animals when other animals cannot see in the dark.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> The environmental pressure that causes the Disguised Sea Urchin is nocturnal because it can allow better protection and growing healthy organs. In daytime, s unlight will release radiation which will affect the habitat of the Sea Urchin because any chemicals in the ocean, the sea urchin cannot grow properly where there endoskeleton can be damaged

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> In summer time, the Disguised Sea Urchin will be less active compare to winter time. Due to global warming, the ocean temperature in summer time is really high which is difficult for the sea urchin to survive. Therefore in summer time, most of the Disguised Sea Urchin will stay in limestone holes that they dig, which can separate heat coming from the atmosphere. By resting in the limestone hole, it allows the internal organs to relax. If this marine animal went out to the ocean, their internal organs’ function will not work as good as in winter time due to the fact that Strongylocentrotus Apsconditum cannot accept any heat.
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Physiological#1 **

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The environmental pressure that causes the Disguised Sea Urchin to be less active in summer time is it avoids the internal organs of this marine animal to be damaged or break down. Since each organs of the Disguised Sea Urchin has numerous of functions, the organs should be protected. For example, it the teeth is damaged, the sea urchin cannot dig holes or bite down food.
