Back to Top Adaptation for younger students Younger students' research need go no further than answering the four questions you have provided. Back to Top 1. Discuss the ways that snakes warn animals and people, and the ways that people have to be careful when in an area that might have snakes. Describe areas in your community where snakes probably live. Snakes are an important part in the food chain that regulates the population of some animals, especially rodents.
Snakes are also food for other birds and animals.
Discuss what might happen in your community if you got rid of all the snakes. Use drawings to illustrate where the food chain would be changed. To correct the misconception that lions and tigers live in the same areas, have students do research to create a display on a map that shows the location of big cats around the world. They might include leopards, cheetahs, and panthers, in addition to lions and tigers. Students can also find out facts about each environment to display on the map.
