**__The climate zone I had was the coastal waters. The location is on the coast of Mexico. The avergga temperatures are 75-79 F. Landforms are caves, and underwater volcanoes. Plant life is mangrove trees, coconut palm trees, orchids, seawed, and sea peas. Some animals that live there are puffins, seagulls, frigate, fish, dolphins, crabs, and turtles. A food chain is coral-> crab-> seagull

The scientific name of the crab is pagurus bernhardus. crabs are invertebrates and are a type of arthropod. The hight of a crab is anywhere from 1-4 cm. It can weigh 1-2 oz. It can be the colors of purplish, bluish, or a red-orange. Some adaptations of crabs are a hard outer body, and 8 legs. For food it eats the fleshof coral. It gets water by sucking of sponges. For shelter it burrows into the ground. The crab is a scavenger. An interesting fact is a crab can spend up to two days burrowed into the ground. The animal is safe at the time. __**
