• Adaptation.


  A physical or behavioral change that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment.
• An example of an adaptation is camouflage which helps animals avoid predators by blending into their surroundings
• Adaptations are traits that increase an organisms chances of survival, reproduction or both
• Some adaptations are physical features that an animal has on their body to survive.
• Structural adaptations include features such as body shape, coloration, and size
• Evolutionary processes can be observed through natural selection, where individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to pass on those genes to future generations
• Evolution occurs when individuals with certain characteristics have more offspring than others because those characteristics make it easier for them to survive and reproduce.
• The process of evolution involves changes over time in populations of living things as they adapt to changing conditions.
• Other adaptations are behaviors that the animal does to survive.
• Behavioral adaptations are behaviors that an animal does specially to survive/adapt to their environment.
• One example of a behavioral adaptation is migration
• Migration
