Description
The fauna (animals) and flora (plants) of Quebec
are greatly diversified. Among the many
animal and plant species that we can
found on the territory, it is also possible to observe
a multitude of characteristics. For example, the hare
of America has much larger ears than
the mouse! The observable characteristics serve
regularly a function. Indeed, one can think
to the porcupine quills which serve as protection.
However, the function of a feature is not
always obvious. Understanding why it
exists sometimes requires a lot of thought about the function
that it occupies for the animal. Besides, some
biologists will work a large part of their lives
to find answers to these types of questions!
