    Animal Adaptations Biology

    Uploaded by

    Daniela Daullja
    This document discusses different types of adaptations that help organisms survive in their environments. It describes structural adaptations like teeth, shells, scales, camouflage and mimicry that involve physical parts of an organism. Behavioral adaptations include innate behaviors inherited through genes and learned behaviors. Examples of behavioral adaptations that help survival are finding food, marking territory, defensive actions, courtship, and parenting behaviors. Structural adaptations like teeth shapes relate to diets, while camouflage, mimicry, and warning colors and projections help in defense.

    Adaptations

    By : Daniela Daullja IXC


    Types of Adaptation
    ■ Anything that helps an organism survive in
    its environment 
    ■ Adaptations are inherited from their parents
    ■ It also refers to the ability of living things to
    adjust to different conditions within their
    environments. 
    ■ Structural adaptation
    ■ Behavioral adaptations
    Structural adaptations
    ■ A structural adaptation involves
    some part of an organism's body.
    ■ Teeth
    ■ Body coverings
    ■ Shells
    ■ Quills
    ■ Scales  
    ■ Camouflage
    ■ Mimicry
    Example of Adaptation
    ■ The shape of an
    animal’s teeth is
    related to its diet.
    ■ Herbivores, such as
    deer, have many
    molars for chewing
    tough grass and
    plants.
    ■ Carnivores, such as
    lions, have sharp
    canines to kill and tear
    meat.
    Camouflage
    ■ Camouflage allows
    an animal to blend
    into its environment. 
    ■ Makes it hard for
    enemies to single out
    individuals  
    Mimicry
    ■ Mimicry allows one
    animal to look,
    sound, or act like
    another animal to fool
    predators into
    thinking it is
    poisonous or
    dangerous.  
    Behavioral adaptations
    ■ Behavior adaptations
    include activities or
    behaviors that help an
    animal survive. 
    1. Innate
    2. Learned
    3. Survival
    4. Seasonal
    Innate vs. Learned
    Innate Learned
    ■ Inherited through the ■ Learned from
    genes experience or from
    ■ Examples observing other
    ■ Flying for bees, birds animals
    ■ Swimming for fish ■ Examples
    ■ Walking for humans ■ Type of language
    ■ Speaking for humans spoken for humans
    ■ Riding a bicycle
    Survival Behavior
    I can explain how an adaptation helps an
    organism survive in a particular
    1. Finding food environment.
    ■ Predator-Prey adaptations
    ■ Predator-animals that eat other animals
    ■ Prey-animal being eaten
    2. Marking Territory
    ■ Way that animals inform other animals that an area is
    occupied
    3. Defensive Action
    ■ Protect resources, themselves, food, mates, offspring
    4. Courtship
    ■ Behaviors used to find a mate
    5. Parenting
    ■ Depend on parents for survival
    Animal Defense
    ■ Some animals use these
    methods of defense to
    protect themselves:
    ■ Camouflage
    ■ Snake
    ■ Mimicry
    ■ Mexican Milk Snake
    ■ Bright colors
    ■ Skunk and Poison
    Arrow Frog
    ■ “Hair” projections
    ■ Hedgehog quills
    ■ Deer Antlers
