Animal AdaptationsHow Do Animals Survive In The
Wild?
1. Find food to grow
2. Defend against predators
3. Find mates for reproduction

Structural Adaptation
Structural Adaptation
A body part that aids in survival
Examples: Fins Gills Teeth Streamline body No eye lids
How do different feet types aid in survival?
Structural AdaptationA body part that aids in survival
Examples:Heron’s feet are for wading in
mudEagle’s feet for grabbing and
holding preyDuck’s feet are for swimmingSparrow’s feet are for perching

Behavioral Adaptation
Behavioral AdaptationAn action that aids in survival
Clown fish seek shelter from predators in sea anemones. Sea anemones are poisonous to other marine creatures.
Behavioral Adaptation
Behavioral AdaptationAn action that aids in survival
Lions stay together in a pride. As a group they can help each other hunt, care for young, and watch for danger.

Physiological Adaptation
Physiological AdaptationJobs of the body parts controlling life process
that aid in survival.
A bear’s body slows down in the winter. This helps them survive the long winter temperature and scarce food during winter months. Many know this as hibernation. Most bears do not sleep through the entire winter. They do get up and change dens, so this is not true hibernation, but a winter sleep.
Physiological Adaptation
Physiological AdaptationJobs of the body parts controlling
life process that aid in survival.
Dolphins are mammals and need to breath air. They spend their entire lives in the water and their body’s have adapted so that they can hold their breath for several minutes.

I have learned to adapt to my new
home.
I have learned to live in your backyard.
Learned Behavior
Humans have destroyed many animal habitats. Many animals have learned to adapt to their new surroundings. They have found shelter, food, and learned how to stay away from moving vehicles (well most of the time).

Camouflage Protective Coloration
Camouflage in which colors and patterns of organisms match the surrounds. This helps animals hide from predators.
CamouflageProtective Resemblance

Resemblance
Camouflage Protective Resemblance
Camouflage in which shapes and colors of organisms match other objects in the surroundings.
The milk snake (top) resembles the poisonous coral snake(bottom).
The vice roy butterfly (top) resembles the sour-tasting monarch (bottom).
Protective Coloration Many animals only line of defense is
their colors. The warning colors of red, yellow, orange, and bright blue warn others that these animals might be dangerous and should be avoided! These dart frogs are poisonous.
