A Paragraph using the 5 vocabulary words

The animal kingdom thrives on a remarkable diversity of adaptations. Some creatures, like the chameleon, utilize camouflage to blend seamlessly into their habitat, becoming invisible predators or avoiding hungry eyes themselves. Others, like the wildebeest, embark on epic migrations, following the changing seasons and ensuring access to food. Herbivores, like zebras, consume only plant matter, while carnivores, like lions, rely on hunting other animals for sustenance. Each species has evolved unique strategies to survive and thrive within their specific habitat, whether it be the vast savanna, the dense rainforest canopy, or the icy depths of the ocean.
