This document summarizes different types of adaptations including camouflage, nocturnal behavior, hibernation, and migration. It defines adaptation as a biological process where organisms adjust to new environments. Adaptations help organisms survive and are modifications that increase fitness. Camouflage allows animals to blend into their surroundings to hide from predators. Nocturnal animals are active at night and have enhanced senses for low-light conditions. Hibernation is a deep sleep used in winter or times of scarce resources to conserve energy. Migration moves animals seasonally for food, conditions, or breeding. Adaptations play a key role in survival through the struggle for existence.

3. What is adaptation?
•
•
Adaptation is a biological process by which organisms adjust to
new environment.
It is a modification of an organism that makes it more fit for
existence.

4. Role of adaptation in survival
•
•
Adaptation plays a major role in survival during the struggle for
existence.
Only those organism survive that are well adapted to the
environment.

6. CAMOUFLAGE
•
•
•
1.
The ability of an organism to merge with their surrounding or
hide by blending in their environment.
Many animals adapt to live in their environment by camouflag
e .They hide and protect themselves from being eaten by other
animals by blending in their environment.
Examples:
Chameleon-They blend in their environment by camouflage.

7. NOCTURNAL




Nocturnal animals are animals that
are active during the night and sleep
during the day.
Nocturnal animals tend to have
hightened sense due to their activity in
the dark to be able to survive.
Nocturnal animals tend to have more
highly developed sense of smell,sight
and hearing.
Examples:-Bats

8. HIBERNATION




Hibernation is a deep sleep
process.
Animal hibernate during
winter season and in scarcity
of food to save their energy
and to avoid that particular
climate.
The total length of hibernation
varied widely from less than
four months to more than
seven months.
Example:-Bears

9. MIGRATION


•
Migration is the seasonal
movement of animals from
one habitat to another in
search of food , better
condition or reproductive
needs.
Examples:-
During breeding season
marine fishes migrate from
sea water to fresh water for
spawning.
