Two thumbs up for thumbs!

Read Now
 
Mammals have some pretty amazing adaptations! In fact, humans have got 2 adaptations that we use but don't think much about. Can you guess what they are? Thumbs! We tried a no-thumbs challenge today and taped one of our thumbs to the palm of our hand while we tried doing everyday tasks like writing and picking things up. It was nearly impossible! Overall, we'd give thumbs, two thumbs up! After our challenge, we ventured into the park in search of mammals like chipmunks and squirrels and observed how they are adapted to their environment.
