Adaptations for Energy
Obtaining Food:
The Green Hunter's name comes from the way it obtains it's food. They move on four legs that help them chase food when hunting and stalk prey through the sawgrass. The Green Hunter's teeth are made up of both pointed and flat teeth because it is an omnivore. It has nematocysts inside its teeth and when it bites prey they get stunned and it gives the Green Hunter time to eat its prey.

Predators:
The Green Hunter is particularly at the top of its food chain but it has predators as a youngling. When they are in their eggs, alligators and crocodiles are willing to eat the meat inside of the Green Hunter egg. The Green Hunter eggs are protected by their parents who hunt these animals trying to capture their babies. Around 2 out of 3 eggs will survive till they hatch because of predators. As young, green hunters are hunted by Florida Panthers. The parents of the Green Hunter young will fight the panther and kill it if it needs to. After the Green Hunter is ready to mate and travel south, there are no more predators it needs to worry about except Human Activity.

Obtaining Oxygen:
The Respiratory System of the Green Hunter is two lungs which transfer the oxygen throughout the body. These lungs are reptile type lungs which means they have less pockets than lungs of mammals but still need to breathe with lungs. These lungs are efficient for breathing on land and are also suitable for holding their breath in water for a very long time.
