1. Animal Adaptations

2. Types of Adaptations
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. 
Physical Adaptations include:
Structural adaptation
Protective coloration
Mimicry 
Chemical Defenses
Behavior adaptations
Instinctive
Learned

3. Structural adaptations
A structural adaptation involves some part of an animal's body.
Teeth
Body coverings
Mouths
Feet 
A structural adaptation involves some part of an animal's body, such as the size or shape of the teeth, the animal's body covering, or the way the animal moves.  
Teeth - since different animals eat different things, they don't all have the same kind of teeth
Body coverings - Hair, scales, spines, and feathers grow from the skin.  All of these parts help animals survive in their environments.  
Movement - animals find food by moving from place to place

5. 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.  

6. Protective Coloration

7. Mimicry
Mimicry allows one animal to look, sound, or act like another animal to fool predators into thinking it is poisonous or dangerous.

8. Chemical defenses Animals that use chemicals to ward off predators
i.e.- Skunks spraying, Octopus ink, Snake venom

10. Behavior adaptations
Behavior adaptations include activities that help an animal survive. 
These are the animals ACTIONS
Behavior adaptations include activities that help an animal survive.  Behavior adaptations can be learned or instinctive. (a behavior an animal is born with).
Social behavior - some animals live by themselves, while other live in groups. 
Behavior for protection -  An animal's behavior sometimes helps to protect the animal.  For instance the opossum plays dead.  A rabbit freezes when it thinks it has been seen. 

11. We can divide Behavioral Adaptations into two groups:
Instinctive
Learned
These behaviors happen naturally & don’t have to be learned.
These behaviors must be taught.

12. = Instinctive behaviors happen naturally & don’t need to be learned
Methods of gathering & storing food
Hibernating
Defending oneself
Finding shelter
Raising young
Migrating

13. Migration Animals migrate for different reasons.
better climate
better food
safe place to live
safe place to raise young
go back to the place they were born.
This is when behavioral adaptation that involves an animal or group of animals moving from one region to another and then back again. 
Migration-is the behavioral adaptation that involves an animal or group of animals moving from one region to another and then back again. 
Animals migrate for different reasons.  The reasons are as follows.
better climate
better food
safe place to live
safe place to raise young
go back to the place they were born.

14. Hibernation
This is deep sleep in which animal’s body temp droops, body activities are slowed to conserve energy.
E.g. Bats, woodchucks & bears.
Hibernation- is a deep sleep in which an animal's body temperature drops to about the temperature of the environment.  Body activities, such as heartbeat and breathing are slowed causing the animal to need very little food. 
Animals that hibernate are 
bats 
woodchucks
snakes 
bears.
During the hibernation the animals live off of the fat that is stored in their body. 

15. Learned behaviors
Obtained by interacting with the environment and cannot be passed on to the next generation except by teaching. =
