ADAPTATION

It is a feature that helps an

organism to survive
STRUCTURAL
ADAPTATIONS

 Physical features of an
organism that enable them to
survive in their environment
( for example penguin has
blubber to protect itself from
freezing temperatures)
BEHAVIORAL
ADAPTATIONS

 Actions of an organism that

enable them to survive in their
environment (for example
bears hibernate in winter to
escape the cold temperatures
and preserve energy)
PHYSIOLOGICAL
ADAPTATIONS

 Internal and/or cellular

features of an organism that
enable them to survive in their
environment ( for example
snakes produce poisonous
venom to ward off predators
and to capture prey)
PLANTS ALSO
HAVE
ADAPTATIONS
Fish have adaptations that help
them to live in water
Foxes have adaptations that help them
to live in hot desert and hunt at night
Adaptations of tigers

The diagram shows a tiger. Tigers are predators that hunt,

kill and eat other animals

The list shows some adaptations of different animals

 Sharp claws for catching and holding prey

 Strong legs for burrowing
 Stripes for camouflage
 Eyes at front of head to focus clearly on prey
 Sharp, cutting teeth to kill prey
 Webbed feet for swimming underwater
 Eyes at side of head to see predators approaching
 Smooth, streamlined body for reducing friction
