structure of the animals that make
them adapt to land and water.
3. list down the body structures of
animals that make them adapt to

Animals have body structures that enable them to live in water and
on land. For example, animals can live in water (aquatic animals)
because they have scales, outside skeleton,

shells and gills. Scales are used for protection from diseases and harmful
objects and for swimming. On the adapt on land

terrestrial animals). Adaptation is process of developing for animals to

About Amphibians

Amphibians are small vertebrates that need

water, or a moist environment, to survive.
ike reptiles, amphibians are cold-blooded.
Because of their special skin they require
very specific living conditions. Too much sun
can damage their cells. Too much wind can
dry their skin and dehydrate the animal.

noe endangered because of deforestation, illegal
hunting and selling of animals. Philippine eagle-
owl and Philippine eagle are endangered specie. In
your own little way , as grade 4 learner what can
you do to help protect the animals?
Animals have a different body structure that helps them adapt to land
and water. It serves as their protection or helps them survived in the
