Animal Adaptations
We have studied many adaptations to animals that
help them survive in different habitats.
B. Explain in detail how each of the adaptations you
identified help your chosen animal to survive.

$200
B. Salmon - The swim bladder helps the fish to stay upright and
horizontal in the water. Its streamlined body is good for
cruising easily through water. They are fast swimmers which
allow them to swim through fast waters. They migrate up rivers
and streams to lay their eggs. Their bodies are adapted to live
in both freshwater and saltwater. Salmon mature in the
saltwater ocean. They lay their eggs in the freshwater streams
and rivers.
Robin – These birds migrate in the winter to where their food
sources is more plentiful. They use different calls to
communicate specific information like the approach of
predators. Their special shaped beaks allow them to eat foods
like beetle grubs, caterpillars, worms, fruits, and berries. They
have a good sense of hearing to help them hear and catch prey
while avoiding predators. They have better eyesight than
people and other animals to help locate food and predators
quickly. Their wings allow them to fly away from predators and
to catch prey. A robin’s hollow bones and feathers allow it to
be lightweight enough to fly.

B.
Tiger – Its stripes allow it to blend in with its surroundings because
they create similar patterns to sunlight beaming through trees and
jungle grasses. This makes it difficult for both predators and prey to
spot tigers in the wild. Its flexible spine and long hind limbs allow
them to jump. Its strength and muscular structure give is the ability to
swim, run, and capture prey. It has soft pads on its feet to allow it to
walk on its toes and sneak up on unsuspecting prey. Its razor-sharp
claws are used to fight other tigers as well as maim and kill prey.
Their night vision gives it the ability to see long distances both day
and night. Sensitive hearing and a keen sense of smell help a tiger to
mark its territory and locate both prey and other predators. A tiger
hunts alone , which provides the benefit of stealth.
Polar Bear – Its thick fur keeps it warm in frigid air and water. Its fur is
white for camouflage in ice and snow. Its black skin absorbs heat from
the sun’s rays to help keep it warm. Its pads provide traction on ice.
The big paws spread out its body weight on the ice and are broad for
use in swimming. Its claws are curved to dig through ice. Its jagged
teeth are perfect for tearing and eating meat. Its fat layers keep it
warm like insulation.

B. Zebra – Its white fur helps to rebound/reflect the sun’s light. Its
big ears release heat from its body. Its thin fur helps to keep it
cool. Its stripes are like camouflage. They help it to blend in
with its background environment. It has long legs to help it run
fast from predators. Zebras live together in herds to protect
them from predators.
