What are Physical and Behavioral Adaptations?

• Physical adaptations can be a body structure that
  an animal has that allows it to meet its needs in
  its habitat.
• Behavioral adaptations can be an activity or
  action that helps an animal survive in its
  habitat.

3
Hibernation

• Objective Explain how hibernation is a
  behavioral adaptation that allows certain animals
  to survive in their habitat during the winter
  months .

4

• Hibernation is a behavioral adaptation that
  allows animals to survive during the winter
  months.
• Behavioral adaptation is simply an activity an
  animal does to stay alive.

5
Hibernation

• Hibernation means a long rest, or sleep.
• During hibernation, the animals body processes,
  like breathing, slow down, and they survive on
  stored food or fat.
• Many animals, for example insects, birds,
  reptiles and some mammals, eat a lot of food in
  the autumn months to store up fat.
• Lets take a look at some animals that are eating
  a lot of food to prepare for hibernation.

Hibernation

• Animals can burrow into the ground or curl up
  under leaves, or hide themselves in dens, safe
  from the winter cold and enemies.
• When the temperature rises in the spring, the
  animal wakes up and leaves its hiding place.
• Lets take a look at some animals hibernating.

Defense

• Objective Explain how defense can be a physical
  or behavioral adaptation that allows animals to
  protect themselves in their habitat.

23

• Defense is how an animal protects itself.
• Some animals have special adaptations to protect
  themselves from being hurt, killed, or eaten.
• These special defense mechanisms include physical
  adaptations such as quills and claws, and
  behavioral adaptations such as taking flight,
  tricking (mimicry, playing dead), spraying, or
  fighting.

24

• Lets take a look at animals using
• physical adaptations to defend themselves.

Locomotion

• Objective Explain how locomotion (physical
  adaptation) and movement (behavioral adaptation)
  allow animals to survive in their habitat.

41

• Locomotion is a physical adaptation. In order for
  animals to find the resources they need for food,
  shelter, or space, they must be able to move
  around.
• Animals have special structures for moving
  depending on where they live, for example
• -above ground (swinging, climbing and flying)
  
• -on the ground (crawling, walking, hopping)
• -in the water (floating, swimming and
  diving).

Migration

• Migration is when animals move over the same
  route in the same season each year. This is a
  behavioral adaptation.
• The animals move because of the weather and to
  find food and shelter.
• Lets take a look at animals that migrate.

How Do Animals Obtain Their Food?

• Objective Explain how animals use physical
  adaptations to obtain food in their habitat.

63

• Animals have special structures used for getting
  food, for example the beaks of birds, mouths of
  insects, teeth, or claws that are shaped in
  different ways depending on the type of food they
  eat.
• Lets take a look at different mouths, teeth, and
  claws that animals use in order to get their
  food.

Camouflage

• Objective Explain how animals use camouflaging
  to protect themselves in their habitat.

82
Camouflage

• Camouflage is a physical adaptation.
• Camouflage is a color or pattern that allows an
  animal to blend into its environment. It protects
  animals from being seen by their enemies, or
  allows the animals to sneak up more easily on
  their food.

83

• Animals using Camouflage
• Can you find the animals?
