Animals have developed adaptations that allow them to survive in their environments. Adaptations can include physical body parts like a giraffe's long neck, a camel's hump, or an anteater's long snout. Adaptations can also include behaviors like hibernation or camouflage through coloration that helps animals hide from predators. Some examples provided are a tarsier's large eyes, a bear's claws, a skunk's smell, a turtle's hard shell, a chameleon changing colors, and a ptarmigan bird changing feather colors between seasons.
