There can be many theories to explain why temperate climate plants are found in Antartica. One theory is that Antartica would have once been warmed. It may be warm because it was part of Pangea and that cause a warm temperate climate for organisms to survive. The organisms may have travel there and inhabit it, but when plate tectonics moves and separate Pangea. The climate may have turn cooler because it is towards the equator. Then the organisms may not have notice that the plates had moved and wasn't prepared for the cold. Or they weren't able to adapt fast enough to the climate change. Therefore, most species died out. This is one of the theory.
The theory may have been proven because organisms were preserved by the ice. Then it was discover today. That may be how the theory may have happen. As you can see, Antartica was different from long ago and today.
My animal I got was a black swan from the Chaffee Zoo. I was to do a research on it, and by doing the researches I learned things about the animal that I haven't know before. Such as, the looks of a black swan. The swan is about the size of the white swan, however it is black and has a red beak. Also, the males tend to have longer necks than the females, and they are bigger. I learned that the species was originated from Australia, also I learned that the beautiful animal lives in swampy places and can live in both fresh water and salt water. The black swan means the sign of mystery and music because of the black color. Therefore, the black swan is an amazing creature.
The black swan has a related characteristic to most animals. Such as, they live in large flocks. However, this information I found about them is very fascinating. The parents or the mature swan are herbivores, and the cygnets are carnivores. At the young age the cygnets feed on small creatures such as crabs, fishes, or insects. The cygnets are carnivores because protein in meat helps the cygnets grow faster and healthier. As you can see, there are many fascinating facts about common animals.
I think that the most important discovery of science is the discovery of "Evolution." As you can see, evolution is the change with organism over time. Without knowing about evolution, we may never know who were our ancestors. Our ancestors during history do not look like us, so if the theory of evolution haven't been discover there would be like something missing to the puzzle piece. Since the puzzle piece is missing we may only believe what our grandparents tell us and never know the true theory. Without evolution we may also never evolve into a human being. Therefore the discovery of evolution is a benefit.
Evolution is a change to our bodies over time. It changes because of the climate change or the movements of Earth's crusts. Once long ago, the Earth was a Pangea, a continent all connected together. But, as the plates started to move, the weather changes and that is when our bodies adapt to the new climate. For example, if it's a cold climate we may grow fur to protect us from the cold and if it is hot we may be in our normal skin. Likewise the discovery of evolution is a add-on to our science and
