Adaptations of Animals and Plants:
All living things have structures that help them survive! We
learned about various animals and their adaptations. We
also learned that plants have parts that help them live too!

structures – body parts that helps animals live
structures – body parts that helps animals live
adaptations– structures or behaviors that help a living thing
survive

camouflage– helps an animal blend in with its environment as
a way to hide from predators or sneak up on its prey

mimicry– when a living things looks like another to trick
other predators.

Remember:
-Different bird beaks are suited for different foods.
Examples: Hummingbird’s beak is long and narrow for
getting nectar. An owl’s beak is pointed for snatching prey.
-Desert animals and plants have adaptations that help them
“beat the heat” and lack of water:
Fennec fox – Has large ears that give off heat
Camels – Have humps that store fat (food) and have nostrils
that close so sand won’t get in their nose
Kangaroo Rat – Gets water from food
Cactus- Holds water like a sponge
-Not only structures but also behaviors like migrating and
herding together help animals live.
