Types of Adaptation Anything that helps an organism survive in its environment is an adaptation. It also refers to the ability of living things to adjust to different conditions within their environments. Structural adaptation Protective coloration Mimicry Behaviour adaptations Migration Hibernation
Structural adaptations A structural adaptation involves some part of an animal's body. Teeth Body coverings Movement
Protective Coloration Coloration and protective resemblance allow an animal to blend into its environment. Another word for this might be camouflage. Their camouflage makes it hard for enemies to single out individuals.
Mimicry Mimicry allows one animal to look, sound, or act like another animal to fool predators into thinking it is poisonous or dangerous.
Behaviour adaptations Behaviour adaptations include activities that help an animal survive. Behaviour adaptations can be learned or instinctive. Social behaviour Behaviour for protection
Migration Animals migrate for different reasons. This is when behavioral adaptation that involves an animal or group of animals moving from one region to another and then back again. better climate better food safe place to live safe place to raise young go back to the place they were born.
Hibernation This is deep sleep in which animal s body temp droops, body activities are slowed to conserve energy. E.g. Bats, woodchucks & bears.
