ANIMAL ADAPTATION
ADAPTATION
• Adaptation is the biological process by
which organisms adjust to new
environments or to changes in their
current environment.
Types of Animal Adaptation
• Structural Adaptations
• Camouflage
• Behavioural Adaptations
• Physiological Adaptations
Structural Adaptation
• These involve the
body part of an
organism that help
them to survive in the
environment
• teeth,bodycovering,
movement,fins
Camouflage
• Camouflage is a
mechanism that allows
animal to blend with
environment.It makes
harder to spot.
• ex:Chameleon,leopard,
frogs
Behavourial Adaptation
• Behavioral adaptations
are changes in behavior
that certain organisms or
species use to survive in
a new environment.
• Ex:Migration,Hibernation
,Mimicry etc.
Physiological Adaptation
• It is an internal body process to regulate
and maintain homeostasis for an
organism to survive in the environment
• Examples: temperature regulation,
release of toxins or poisons, releasing
antifreeze proteins to avoid freezing in
cold environments
