Diagram of Animal Adaptations: Labeled Examples

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🌍 Adaptation: A trait that helps an animal survive and reproduce in its environment.
• 🐾 Structural Adaptations: Physical features like fur, claws, or beak shape. Example: A thick fur coat helps Arctic foxes survive in cold climates.
• Behavioral Adaptations: Actions animals take to survive, such as migration, hibernation, or hunting strategies. Example: Birds migrate to warmer climates during winter.
• 🦎 Physiological Adaptations: Internal bodily functions that help survival. Example: Snakes producing venom to capture prey.
• 🌵 Camouflage: Blending in with the environment to avoid predators or sneak up on prey. Example: A chameleon changing its color to match its surroundings.
• 🦌 Mimicry: Looking or acting like another organism to deter predators. Example: A viceroy butterfly mimicking a monarch butterfly, which is poisonous to some animals.
