Adaptations are physical traits or behaviors that help animals survive in their environments. Camouflage allows animals like walking sticks to blend into their surroundings and avoid detection by predators. Mimicry enables some animals to appear similar to others for protection, like coral snakes mimicking the harmless king snake pattern. Different types of teeth correspond to an animal's diet, with herbivores having flat teeth for grinding plants, omnivores having flat and pointed teeth, and carnivores having sharp, pointed teeth for tearing meat.
