9. Give five examples of animal species in dune environments. How are they unique for living in dune communities?
Reptiles, amphibians, birds, spiders, insects, crustaceans and mammals can survive in the dunes. Just like plants; geography, amount of moisture and climate have everything to do with what animal species are found and how they are adapted to their environment.

Antlion
An antlion is an insect that makes funnel shaped craters in very soft sand, about 2 cm across and 2 cm deep. The ferocious looking larvae hide in sand at the bottom and then wait patiently for something to walk past and fall in to be ambushed. The Antlion larvae react very well to false stimulation that there has been a capture, coming out into full view. Common in the Great Lakes dunes and throughout the United States.
