Animals possess various body structures that enable them to adapt and survive in their habitats, with adaptations being essential for their survival. These adaptations include protective coverings like scales, shells, fur, and feathers, as well as specialized limbs for movement in different environments, such as walking, swimming, or flying. Overall, these body structures play a crucial role in their interactions with the ecosystem and other species.

IN THEIR PARTICULAR
HABITAT

2. •Animals have body structures that help
them adapt to their environment

3. ADAPTATION is
the structure or
behavior that
helps an
organism survive
in its
environment.

4. HABITAT is an
ecological or
environmental
area that is
inhabited by a
particular species
of animal, plant, or
other type or
organisms.

5. Fish are
covered with
scales for
protection from
disease and
from other
animals that
live in water.

6. Shrimps and
lobsters are
covered with
outside
skeleton or
exoskeleton

7. other animals
like clams
and mussels
are covered
with shells.

8. Some animals
are covered
with fur to keep
them warm like
monkey, lion,
horse, and
cheetah

9. Some animals
that found in the
locality are
carabao, cow,
goat, dog and
cat.

10. Others are
covered with
feathers for
flying like
chicken, eagle,
peacock, and
duck.

11. Some have
smooth skin for
breathing like
earthworm.
Most body coverings of animals are for protection.

12. Animals move differently depending on
their habitat and their body structures.
Some animals have legs for walking
and some have wings for flying.
Animals that live on land move in
different ways. Some walk, hop and jump.
Most animals that live in water swim. But
some aquatic animals have legs, too, for
walking like crustaceans, shrimps, prawns,
and crabs. Animals that can live both in
water and on land can either walk, hop,
jump, or swim. Some animals used the
following body structures to adapt and
survive: horns, tails, claws, paws, fangs,
pincers, beaks, sticky tongue, movable
jaws, sucking tubes, and teeth.
