Will the Fennec Fox Freeze or Thrive?

During this second unit in my Population class for STEAM, we dove into some math that would be useful to figure out the differences in species, subspecies, adaptations, and more. We looked into box and whisker plots, bell curve graphs, standard deviation, permutations and combinations in order to look into the meaning and the evolution of the animals on this Earth. For this AP, we had been asked to either choose a new organism or continue with our same organism that you may have seen in Unit 1 AP, I chose the Fennec Fox.  We were asked to develop a scenario which meant that we would have to change the habitat in which our organism usually lives in. By changing the habitat, this meant our animal would also have to adapt to this new climate. We were told to chose up to 20 representations of our animals, and take a sample of 3 that would end up surviving. We found our data for these samples,  so take a further look into my AP to see what I found.

To conclude, this AP was by far one of my favorites. Being able to dive into the future and think about how an animal can change within five hundred years. Because I now have a connection to the Fennec Fox from my previous project, I can now deep into the hypothetic part of this animal and think about where and how this species could end up.
