Information on adaptations

March 13, 2000
From: Ross Sinclair

I was just wondering what problems Sea SLugs come in contact with in their habitats. Also what adaptations have they developed to help with the problems that are raised. I was thinking that such adaptations would be the ink they squirt to scare off predators and protect themselves. Also things such as the ability to lay so many eggs in hopes that they will secure their reproduction. If you could let me know if these are substantial evidences to probelms and adaptations to the problems I would appreciate it. Also what other adpatations, if any, do sea slugs possess.
Thank you
Ross Sinclair

Dear Ross,
Sounds like you have a project to do. Have a look at the messages below yours on this page for some general ideas on how to use the Forum. Baiscally have a look at the General Topics List and use the Search button. Obviously if you are interested in special adaptations it would be worth your while to look at pages on colour and defence.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
