Animal Adaptations
These are the two types of animal adaptations.
What are Physical and Behavioral Adaptations?
These adaptations help animals defend themselves.
What are claws, teeth, and venom?
This is the continuous movement of water on, in, and above Earth.
What is the Water Cycle?
These are the two sources of water on the planet.
What is Groundwater and Surface water?
This means to save and protect resources such as soil, water, and more.
What is Conservation?
This is an adaptation like a body part on an animal that helps it survive in its habitat.
What is a Physical Adaptation?
These types of adaptations help animals eat.
What are teeth, beaks, claws, and mouths that have different shapes?
This heats the water and provides energy to keep the watery cycle moving.
What is the Sun?
Examples of this include lakes, oceans, rivers, streams, ponds, reservoirs etc.
What is Surface Water?
We can help to conserve water by doing what?
Tell me!
This is something that an animal does in response to environmental changes.
What is a Behavioral Adaptation?
This type of adaptation allows animals to sleep through Winter, when food is hard to find.
What is Hibernation?
This is the process when liquid water is heated and changed to a gas (water vapor)
What is Evaporation?
They depend on water to survive.
What are all living things?
This type of adaptation allows animals to blend in with their surroundings.
What is camouflage?
This type of behavioral adaptation involves animals going on a long distance journey and then back again. They are in search of a temporary habitat as seasons change.
What is Migration?
This is the process when water vapor is cooled and changed back to a liquid (clouds and fog)
What is Condensation?
Examples of this include underground wells, and underground streams.
What is Groundwater?
Oil and gas leaking out of cars, crop and lawn fertilizers, and litter thrown on the ground contributes to this.
What is water pollution?
This adaptation might be found in cold areas.
What is thick fur and fat?
This type of behavioral adaptation is when an organism slows down its activity because its habitat becomes stressful.
What is Dormancy?
Water that falls to the ground as a solid or liquid.
What is Precipitation?
Rain, snow, sleet, and hail are examples of this.
What is Precipitation?
Taking a short shower instead of a long shower helps us do what?
What is water conservation?
