» Hawaiian Magic

How do plants and animals end up on islands? Why do they change over thousands of years into quite different creatures? Join Rod Morris on the islands of Hawaii, and meet some of the magical plants and animals that live there.

Plants and animals that reach the Hawaiian islands have changed to suit their new environment. Imagine you are an animal from a cold place, and you have washed up on an Hawaiian beach. How would you slowly change to suit the hot, wet environment? Make a list of your features before you arrived and your features after you had changed.
