This document discusses animal adaptations. It explains that adaptations help animals survive in their environments. There are two types of adaptations: physical and behavioral. Physical adaptations are body structures, such as camouflage, mimicry, body coverings, and chemical defenses. Behavioral adaptations are actions, which can be instinctive behaviors that are innate or learned behaviors acquired through experience. Instinctive behaviors include finding shelter, gathering food, and defending oneself, while learned behaviors are obtained by interacting with the environment. Overall, adaptations allow animals to respond to their basic life needs.
