ANIMALS ADAPT THEMSELVES FOR SURVIVAL. IN THIS YOU CAN LEARN HOW THEY ADAPT THE BEHAVIOR TO SURVIVE IN CHANGING ENVIRONMENT.

1. Adaptations

(looking orsounding like another living organism)
The Viceroy butterfly uses mimicry to look like the

The elephant’s trunk is a physical adaptation that
helps it to clean itself, eat, drink, and to pick things
up.

18. Each organism has uniquemethods of
adaptingto its environmentby meansof
different actions.
BehavioralAdaptations are animals’
actions.
Remember thatPhysicalAdaptationsarebody

20. Adaptation Applications: Lions
• Why are the eyes of a
lion set in front of the
head rather than on the
sides?
• Answer: Eyes in front
of the head allow for
depth perception and
ability to judge
distances when hunting.
