Hopefully by now, you have a good handle on the situation and have taken care of the most important means for survival. However, just
because you've made it this far doesn't mean you're in the clear! This next part will require you to research the plant and animal life that Brian can expect to find and identify how each relates to his survival.
A. Find 2 animals Brian is likely to encounter and answer the following questions:
1. How can this animal be helpful to Brian? Is it a likely food source for Brian?
2. How can this animal be harmful to Brian? Is it likely to be dangerous?
B. Find 2 plants that are likely to be found where Brian is and answer the following questions:
1. How can this plant be helpful to Brian? Is it edible (can Brian eat it)?
2. How can this plant be harmful to Brian? Is it poisonous?
Visit the websites below to learn about the ecosystem that Brian must survive in. For this part, you'll need to refer to the map where you
located where the plane crashed, then figure out what biome or ecosystem he's now a part of.
Hint: Look in the book for the different kinds of trees Brian sees. They are the key to figuring out the biome.
