Fish breathe through gills in the water. Beavers survive in the forest due to their brown color which helps them blend in. Beavers use wood to build dams and lodges, showing behavioral adaptation. Arctic hares change their fur color from brown to white in summer and winter as a physical adaptation. Plants also show adaptations like cacti storing water in their stems and rainforest plants having large leaves to receive sunlight. Animals use behavioral adaptations like hibernation, migration, camouflage and mimicry to survive.

13. 1) Hibernation
(Behavioral adaptation)
(Instinct)
Sleep-like state

14. -In the fall some animals start
eating more food.
- Then they go into a sleeplike
state for winter (Hibernate)
- The body temperature
drops.
- Their heart rate slows down.
- Breathe only once in a half
hour.

15. Squirrel hibernating

16. Travel from one place to
another and back again.
2) Migrate
(Behavioral adaptation)
(Instinct)

17. Most birds

to the

hemisphere
in fall.

their young and return in spring.

21. Monarch butterflies
fly from the United
states to Mexico
each fall.
