Animals and plants have developed special features and behaviors to survive in their environments, which is known as adaptation. There are several types of adaptations including structural, behavioral, migration, hibernation, camouflage, and adaptations related to temperature regulation. Structural adaptations involve physical features like teeth, body coverings, wings, and webbed feet. Behavioral adaptations include learned or instinctive behaviors for activities like social interaction, protection, and migration between regions. Plants also show adaptations like seeds, plant movements, and storage of water or fat to suit their habitats.

3. Also we can change our clothes
to best suit the temperature
around us.
White clothes
reflect the heat
Animal skin and fur
act as insulators and
keep heat in.

4. We can do this
because we are able
to build homes for
different conditions.

5. Structural adaptations
• A structural adaptation involves some part of
an animal's body.
– Teeth
– Body coverings
– Movement

6. Behaviour adaptations
• Behaviour adaptations
include activities that help an
animal survive.
• Behaviour adaptations can be
learned or instinctive.
– Social behaviour
– Behaviour for protection

7. Migration
• This is when behavioural
adaptation that involves an
animal or group of animals
moving from one region to
another and then back again.

8. Hibernation
• It is deep sleep in which an animal’s body temperature
drops to about the temperature of the environment.
Body activities such as heartbeat slow down.
• E.g. Bats, woodchucks & bears.

10. Animals and plants
• Most plants and animals are specially adapted
to survive in a particular habitat.
• They have developed special features to suit
the demands of their environment.
• This is called adaption.

11. All birds have similar
characteristics.
But many water
birds have features
that are different
from those birds live
on land.
Long legs are good for wading
These wings act as flippers
Webbed
feet for
swimming

12. Some animals are
camouflaged to blend in
with their surroundings.
This keeps them safe as it
is more difficult for other
animals to see them or
catch them for food.
This lizards skin is so
similar to the rock
colour.
These zebra could
easily be mistaken
for bushes from
a distance.
This lion blends in well
with the grassy
background.

13. Aquatic animals have
streamlined bodies
to move more easily
in the water.

14. These animals have
adapted to live in
the hot climate of
the desert.
Camels store fat in their
humps.
Ostriches have
long eyelashes to
keep out the sand.
Snakes glide across the hot
sands and can shed their skin

15. These animals have
adapted to be more
suited to cold
temperatures.
Layers of fat keep the
seals body warm, and small
ears stop heat loss.
Polar bears are kept warm by
their body fat.
Deer have a
warm layer
of fur.

18. Plant Adaptations

19. SEEDS
Seeds are the baby plants. They are formed
when the pollen fertilizes the egg. Fruit
protects the seed.

20. PLANT BEHAVIORS
Plants not only have structural adaptations;
they have behaviors that help them to
survive in their environment.
Tropism: movement of a plant toward or
away from a stimulus. Toward is called
positive, away is called negative.

22. Even plants have
adapted to their
habitats.
The cactus has fleshy stems
that store water.
The water provides support for this lily
as it has less developed roots to hold it
in place.
Dandelions seeds are
easily dispersed.
