What are the 4 main adaptations that birds have for flight?
Flying birds have large chest muscles that move the wings. Birds have feathers that
help them fly. The long flight feathers on the wings and tail help birds balance and steer.
In addition, birds have a system of air sacs in their body that connect to the lungs.

Cats' eyes have very well adapted photoreceptors for seeing in the dark and to help spot
and catch their prey. Their ears have also been adapted for hearing better.. The tail on cats is
usually long and flexible, aiding in balance. Domestic cats have a compact, flexible body-making
it easier to move.

hysical Adaptations
Wild dogs survive by eating meat, meaning they have to hunt for their food. Many of the adaptations
dogs have developed make them better hunters. For example, dogs have a very good sense of
smell. In fact, a dog's sense of smell is about 1 million times more sensitive than that of humans! A
strong sense of smell helps wild dogs find food, and it alerts them to territories claimed by other
dogs. Dogs claim their home territory by marking it with their scent, and other dogs smell that and
know there is another dog nearby.
Dogs also have eyes that are very sensitive to motion and light. This helps them hunt at night, and
they are very good at detecting any kind of movement of prey (other animals they eat). They also
have very good hearing, so even if they can't see the prey, dogs can usually tell what direction the
prey is moving.
If you've looked at your dog's teeth, you know they have some big, sharp teeth that are actually
called canine teeth. These teeth formed to rip and tear meat, though it also helps them eat their
kibble and any treats they might get from the dinner table.

Behavioral Adaptations
Wild dogs live in packs, or groups of other dogs, and each pack has a clear leader. Packs hunt
together, and this means that they can work together to kill bigger animals.
