Michelle,
Earthworms do have hearts - well, sort of. They have 5 aortic arches which function like human hearts - so it's often said that they have 5 hearts. Check out this website for more info on earthworm anatomy: http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~rlenet/Earthwo...

Hi Lameek,
You did a great job with your organisms' descriptions and habitat information. You provided detailed descriptions and a good discussion of the habitat and adaptations of your organisms. Hope you are well!

Beautiful golden stripe on this guy's head!

Hi Kiara,
Someone suggested to Chrystal that these are either Morgan or Quarter horses. You can do some research to try to find out what breed.
The species is: Equus ferus caballus

Hi Kiara,
I'm pretty sure this is a Redosier Dogwood or Red Twig Dogwood. They grow in wet areas, which would make sense, since you found them growing near a water way. I hope this helps.

Hi Khaleeq,
Check out the species suggestion I made. If you think this is the correct identification, edit your posting and change the common name and scientific name. Then you need to research to find out the habitat, trophic level and adaptations for this plant.

This looks good Chrystal. You can add the scientific name Larus delawarensis when you edit your posting.

Hi Chrystal,
Check out the following page for some ideas for identifying this one:

I thought the Flammulina velutipes or velvet foot looked pretty promising, though it usually grows on wood except in the spring and fall (though our winter weather has been much like spring so who knows?!). Look at the others too and let me know what you think.
