this report is based on weather climate and animal adaptation of animals towards weather or climate thankyou i hope you like

25.  Read through the following presentation with your group and teacher.
See if you can answer these questions by the end 
 What is an adaptation?
 What is the difference between physical and behavioral adaptations?
 What is a biome? What are the major biomes?
 What kinds of animals belong to each biome?
 How do biomes affect animal adaptations?
 How to animal adaptations change over time?

26.  How a person or animal changes or “adapts” to
survive.
 We change how we dress. When the weather gets
cold we wear coats and long pants. Similar to this
animals must adapt to changes in their surroundings.
 What do all animals need?
 Air (oxygen), water, shelter, food
 What animals do or how they behave to get these
needs is called an adaptation.

27.  Animals adapt in many ways. There are two types of adaptations. Physical and
Behavioral.
 Physical is how an animal looks. It is it’s physical features such as beaks, tails, claws,
and much more. A skunk has a physical adaptation that protects it from harm. Do
you know what it is?
 Behavioral is how an animal behaves. If your teacher says you had great behavior, he
or she means you acted very well.
 Behavioral Adaptations are how an animal acts to help it survive in its’ habitat.
 There are two types of Behavioral Adaptations
Taught and Instinctive.
Taught is something like talking to humans. Someone had to teach you how to talk.
Instinctive is like a baby crying. Babies know how to do it from birth. It does not
have to be taught.
 We will explore some examples of physical and behavioral adaptations now.

28.  Physical adaptations may be how many fingers an animal has, how thick its fur
it, or how it changes to attract a mate.
 Physical adaptations do not form overnight. They can take hundreds of years
to transform and usually change because of the climate.
 With today’s constantly changing environment, animals habitats or living places
are changing.
 An animal has to readjust to that new surrounding or climate. If they can’t the
animal dies.
 You will learn more about how climate changes and then with time it forces
animals to change and adapt later in this lesson.

29.  Mimicry  The Viceroy Butterfly mimics the
Monarch. The Monarch is
poisonous and birds know not to
eat it. The Viceroy is not poisonous
but because it looks similar, many
animals will not eat it. What other
animals use mimicry?
 Camouflage  The chameleon’s light brown
coloring keeps it safe from harm. It
matches the trees and brush it lives
in so predators cannot see it. The
chameleon only changes color
when in immediate danger. What
other animals use camouflage?

30. Defense
 Bombardier beetle- a beetle that
has a special defense feature. It
mixes two chemicals in its body and
shoots the chemicals mixed in its
body from its abdomen at
predators for protection.
 The skunk uses a special musk to
spray when it feels it is facing
danger.

31. Migration  This is when animals move from one
place to another in search of food or
to find a warmer place to live.
Hibernation/Estivation  When an animal goes in a dormant
or inactive state to avoid extremely
cold weather conditions. Brown
bears hibernate in the winter.
Estivation is the same as hibernation
but is done by animals trying to
avoid very hot conditions.

32.  Crèche  Crèche is the term used for how a
mother duck leads her ducklings as
she searches for food. In a crèche
one female leads the group of
ducklings and the other trails in the
back guarding them from danger.
This can be considered an adaptation
used to care for the young.
 Spiders have many spider eggs at one
time; therefore they cannot all live in
the same area. As a special
adaptation and means of survival
young spiders find a pace to live by
ballooning. They raise their abdomen
or rear, spin a long strand of silk and
let the breeze carry them to a new
home.

33.  There are many more types of adaptations both
physical and behavioral. What other kinds of
adaptations of animals do you know?
 You will use the following WebQuest to find even
more adaptations!
 Now it’s time to learn about where these animals
live and how that affects their adaptations.

34. There are six major types of biomes where all animals
could live and “adapt” to in order to survive.
Freshwater -Includes wetlands, streams and rivers, ponds and lakes.
Animals that live here require low salt intake. Temperature of the water
changes drastically with the seasons.
(fish such as catfish, shrimp. ducks, turtles, snakes, birds)
Marine – Cover about 75% of Earth’s surface. Marine includes oceans,
estuaries, and coral reef. High salt concentrations.
(mammals such as dolphins and whales, crabs, worms, octopuses)
Desert –Cover about 20% of Earth’s surface. Few animals live in very hot
deserts because the desert offers little protections from the hot sun. Semi-
arid, coastal, coastal, and cold deserts contain more animals.
(rabbits, skunks, owls, snakes, jack rabbits, mice, coyotes, and badgers)

35. Forest (Taiga)- There are three types. tropical, temperate, and boreal.
Tropical-near equator
(birds, bats, small mammals.)
Temperate-eastern North America, northeastern Asia, and western and central Europe
(squirrels, rabbits, skunks, birds, deer, mountain lion, bobcat, timber wolf, fox, and black bear.)
Boreal-short, moist summers, long cold winters
(hawks, small mammals, bats, lynx, bears)
Grassland– Two types savannah and temperate (includes prairies). Africa, India, South America.
(Savannah-giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, kangaroos, mice, moles, gophers, ground squirrels, snakes, worms,
termites, beetles, lions, leopards, hyenas, and elephants.)
(Temperate- gazelles, zebras, rhinoceroses, wild horses, lions, wolves, prairie dogs, jack rabbits, deer,
mice, coyotes, foxes, skunks, badgers, blackbirds, quails, sparrows, hawks, owls, snakes, grasshoppers,
and spiders)

36.  What is an adaptation?

 How do biomes affect animal adaptations?
 How to animal adaptations change over time?

38.  Anything that helps an organism survive in its
environment is an adaptation.
 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

39.  A structural adaptation involves some
part of an animal's body.
› Teeth
› Body coverings
› Movement

40.  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.

41.  Mimicry allows one
animal to look, sound,
or act like another
animal to fool
predators into thinking
it is poisonous or
dangerous.

42.  Behaviour adaptations
include activities that help
an animal survive.
 Behaviour adaptations
can be learned or
instinctive.
› Social behaviour
› Behaviour for protection

43.  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 when behavioral
adaptation that involves
an animal or group of
animals moving from
one region to another
and then back again.

44.  This is deep sleep in which animal’s body temp
droops, body activities are slowed to conserve
energy.
 E.g. Bats, woodchucks & bears.
