Vitiosus repo The Boondall Wetlands is located on the eastern edge of Moreton Bay.The waters of Moreton Bay are a popular destination for locals and it is even used for seafood market. It is also where we left the breeding couple. Our species now lives in the nearby Boondall Wetlands. It does not live in deep waters where sunlight is not present but rather it lives in moderate depth. It does however prefer shallow water and its ecosystem consists of both aquatic and terrestrial environments. It can occasionally be seen at the top layer of the water scavenging for food or going on land for sunlight and prey. • Abiotic Factors - Water, sunlight, soil, wind, oxygen levels, rocks, temperature, minerals, humidity. • Biotic Factors - Plants, aquatic life, competition, predators, parasites.

Affect of ecosystem: The ecosystem allows it to swim and be a natural predator in its habitat. The sea provides all the basic needs for the organism. If the ecosystem changes, the organism must change with it in order to survive. To do this, the organism adapts making the ecosystem have a prominent affect on our organism. Affect of species: It is able to feed on other life which fluctuates population numbers as it is a vigorous predator and is at the top of the food chain. The organism helps balance out the population numbers. Without it, there might be an increase in its prey population. The range of our organism is portrayed by the black marking on the map. The range of our animal is determined by water depth and land. Since the adapted organism does not like deep waters and is adapted to shallower regions, it cannot go very far into the bay. Furthermore, it is not yet an efficient land traveler to be crawling around on soil. Instead, it resides and lives in wetlands that are close to shore.

TROPHIC Our species is at the top of the trophic level as it is a carnivore that will eat anything that lingers in its path. The species lies on the uppermost trophic level in the food web.

ECOLOGICAL NICHE Our organism is the top predator and scavenger in the ecosystem. It is a mostly a carnivore but if needed, it will eat anything that will come in close reach. It spends its days in shallow depth wetlands and occasionally crawls on land where the sun shines. It is a major component to the food web as it is top predator and it balances prey populations. ADAPTATIONS Our organism has adapted from Kronosaurus, a mighty and vicious marine reptile that was alive in the cretaceous era to a more modern version that looks similar to a crocodile. - Shorter Vertebrae Adapted to a smaller size as its big size would have been a disadvantage in the modern era - Thicker Caudle vertebrae Used to swing the tail with might and be able to swim in water - Scales Adapted scales only on the top of the organism for protection - Color change Change from the dark blue color of the ocean so a more murky brownish, green for predator/prey relationships. - Legs and arms Adapted for mobility from fins. - Smaller Rib bones Since the newly organism has adapted a smaller size, the rib bones have also shrunk to accommodate the new species. It will not need to consume as much now that it is smaller and more efficient. Smaller rib cage can give a better advantage in hunting and scavenging.
