48 - How do animals adapt to their environment?

Animals adapt to their environment in different ways. Here are a few examples:

1. Physical changes: Some animals change their body shape or color to fit in. For example, polar bears have white fur to blend in with the snow, and penguins have flippers to swim.
2. Special features: Some animals grow special features that help them survive. Like, camels have big humps that store water for long trips in the desert.
3. Behavior changes: Animals change their behavior to adapt. For example, bears sleep through the winter to save energy when there's no food available.
4. Hiding and seeking: Some animals hide or move to a new place when the environment gets too harsh. Like, birds migrate to warmer places during winter.

These changes help animals survive and thrive in their environment.
