  Have you everwondered how animals are able to survive in the wild? Animals have certain adaptations that help them to survive.
• 3.
  Think about theway you dress in the winter. You don’t wear your shorts and bathing suit when it’s snowing outside! You wear warm clothes, and maybe even a hat and mittens to protect yourself from the weather.
• 4.
  And what ifyou are having a snowball fight? You probably run away from the person throwing at you, and maybe even try to sneak up on that person and throw some snowballs!
• 5.
  The way youdress in the winter, as well as the way that you run and hide from someone throwing snow at you are kinds of … Adaptations.
• 6.
  We can separateadaptations into two categories: Physical AND Behavioral
• 7.
  Physical adaptations are body structuresthat allow an animal to find and consume food, defend itself, and to reproduce its species. Physical adaptations help an animal survive in its environment.
• 8.
  Physical adaptation Camouflage (useof color in a surrounding) The chameleon can change its color to match its surroundings. Can you do that?
• 9.
  Mimicry (looking or soundinglike another living organism) The Viceroy butterfly uses mimicry to look like the Monarch butterfly. Can you tell them apart? Poisonous Not poisonous Physical adaptation I’m the Monarch! I’m the Viceroy!
• 10.
  Chemical defenses (likevenom, ink, sprays) Physical adaptation
• 11.
  Body coverings &parts (claws, beaks, feet, armor plates, skulls, teeth) Physical adaptations The elephant’s trunk is a physical adaptation that helps it to clean itself, eat, drink, and to pick things up.
• 12.
  Now let’s learnabout Behavioral Adaptations… Behavioral Adaptations allow animals to respond to life needs.
• 13.
  Each organism hasunique methods of adapting to its environment by means of different actions. Behavioral Adaptations are animals’ actions. Remember that Physical Adaptations are body structures.
• 14.
  We can divideBehavioral Adaptations into two groups: Instinctive Learned
• 15.
  Instinctive behaviors happen naturally &don’t need to be learned = Finding shelter Methods of gathering & storing food Defending oneself Raising young Hibernating Migrating
• 16.
  Learned behaviors Obtained by interacting withthe environment and cannot be passed on to the next generation except by teaching. =
• 17.
  In this lesson,we have learned about animal adaptations. There are 2 ways to describe adaptations: Physical and Behavioral
• 18.
  Physical adaptations arebody structures. Some examples of physical adaptations are: Camouflage Mimicry Body coverings & parts Chemical defenses
• 19.
  Behavioral Adaptations areanimals’ actions. Behavioral Adaptations can be Instinctive or Learned.

  The next time youread about an animal in the wild, or when you see one on television, think about its adaptations….
