48 - How do animals adapt to their environment?
Animals adapt to their environment in different ways. Here are a few examples:
- 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.
- 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.
- Behavior changes: Animals change their behavior to adapt. For example, bears sleep through the winter to save energy when there's no food available.
- 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.
