It also refers to the ability of living things to adjust to different conditions within their environments. Structural adaptation Protective coloration Mimicry Behaviour adaptations Migration Hibernation Structural adaptations : Structural adaptations A structural adaptation involves some part of an animal's body. Teeth Body coverings Movement Protective Coloration : Protective Coloration Coloration and protective resemblance allow an animal to blend into its environment. Another word for this might be camouflage. Their camouflage makes it hard for enemies to single out individuals. Mimicry : Mimicry Mimicry allows one animal to look, sound, or act like another animal to fool predators into thinking it is poisonous or dangerous. Behaviour adaptations : Behaviour adaptations Behaviour adaptations include activities that help an animal survive. Behaviour adaptations can be learned or instinctive. Social behaviour Behaviour for protection Migration : Migration Animals migrate for different reasons. better climate better food safe place to live safe place to raise young go back to the place they were born. This is a behavioral adaptation that involves an animal or group of animals moving from one region to another and then back again. Hibernation : Hibernation This is deep sleep in which animal’s body temp droops, body activities are slowed to conserve energy. E.g. Bats, woodchucks & bears. Slide 9: Cactus Adaptations: The spines serve a number of purposes in addition to protection from hungry and thirsty animals. They provide shade, serve as a windbreak to prevent dehydration from dry winds, and help trap warm air close to the plant. The root systems of cacti are very close to the surface of the soil, making it possible for them to take advantage of the slightest rain shower. Plants Adapt Too Slide 10: Water Plant Adaptations: Little or no mechanical strengthening tissue in stems. If these plants are removed from the water, they hang limply. They are normally supported by water all around them and so have no need of mechanical strengthening. Air-filled cavities often extend throughout the leaves and stems of aquatic plants, providing an internal atmosphere.
