Animal Adaptations

An adaptation is a feature of a living organism that helps it survive and reproduce in its environment. Adaptations can be structural (body features), behavioural (actions), or physiological (internal processes).

Camouflage and Mimicry

Camouflage allows animals to blend into their surroundings to hide from predators or prey. Mimicry is when one species resembles another to gain a survival advantage. Both are powerful evolutionary adaptations.

Animal Migration

Migration is the seasonal movement of animals from one region to another, typically to find food, better conditions, or breeding sites. Many birds, fish, insects, and mammals migrate thousands of kilometres each year.

Birds and Reptiles

Birds and reptiles are both vertebrates descended from a common ancestor. Reptiles are scaly and cold-blooded; birds have feathers, are warm-blooded, and evolved from theropod dinosaurs.

Fish and Amphibians

Fish are aquatic vertebrates that breathe through gills, while amphibians live both in water and on land, breathing through lungs and moist skin. Together they form two of the five main vertebrate groups.

Invertebrates

Invertebrates are animals without a backbone. They make up over 95% of all animal species and include insects, spiders, worms, and molluscs.
