Animal Adaptations

IntroductionDefinition

Adaptation in different animalsAdaptation in Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds and Mammals.

SYNOPSIS

Page 4: Animal adoptation by ASIF KANTH

Adaptation: a structure or behavior that helps a living thing live in its surroundings.

Adapted: made fit to live under certain conditions.Protective colorations: colors or patterns on an animal that help keep the animal from being seen by predators.Migration: movement from one place to another when

the seasons change.Hibernate: to spend the winter in a state in which the

body greatly slows down.Nitrogen: a material that plants need to grow.

Annual: a plant that lives only one year.Evergreen: a plant that stays green all year, including

firs, spruces, and pines.Perennial: a plant that can live two years or more.

Vocabulary

Page 5: Animal adoptation by ASIF KANTH

An adaptation is a change in an animal’s physical structure or behavior that helps an

animal to survive in their habitat. Examples: The shape of a bird’s beak, number of fingers and toes, or the color of an animal’s fur.

Physical adaptations do not develop during one lifetime, but over many generations.

What is an

adaptation?

Page 6: Animal adoptation by ASIF KANTH

Example of Adaptation

The shape of an animal’s teeth is related

to its diet. Herbivores, such as deer,

have many molars for chewing tough grass and

plants.Carnivores, such as lions, have sharp canines to kill

and tear meat.

All species have experienced adaptation and will continue to slowly adapt as the next

generations are born. We will identify certain species from each of

these groups and the reasons for their success:Amphibians Reptiles

BirdsMammals

Who experiences adaptations?

Page 8: Animal adoptation by ASIF KANTH

Amphibians

EctothermicLay eggs in waterPartially of fully

webbed feetHave lungs or can

absorb oxygen through their skin

Page 9: Animal adoptation by ASIF KANTH

Reptiles

Ectothermic or cold- blooded

ScalesSome undergo hibernation and

estivationLay eggs on landLeg structure and

position

Mammals

Endothermic or warm-blooded

All have some type of “hair”

Some are very specialized, such as white polar bear fur

Method of locomotionCare for young

Animal Defense

Some animals use these methods of defense to protect themselves:Camouflage

SnakeMimicry

Mexican Milk SnakeBright colors

Skunk and Poison Arrow Frog“Hair” projections

Hedgehog quillsDeer Antlers

Why are the eyes of a lion set in front of the head rather than on the sides?

Answer: Eyes in front of the head allow for depth perception and ability to judge distances when hunting.

Adaptation Applications: Lions

Page 14: Animal adoptation by ASIF KANTH

What is the purpose of the mane on a male lion? What is the reason for the lion’s color?

A thick mane helps the male to appear larger and serves as protection for the throat. The tawny brown coat color

camouflages the animal and young among vegetation.

Adaptation Applications: Lions

Page 15: Animal adoptation by ASIF KANTH

Why are giraffes able to go for long periods of time without water?

Answer: Giraffes drink water when available, but can go weeks without it. They rely on morning dew and the water content of

their food.

Adaptation Applications: Giraffe

Page 16: Animal adoptation by ASIF KANTH

How are their long necks adapted to their lifestyle?

Answer: This extra length is thought to have evolved to help the giraffe spot predators and other giraffes in the distance. Interestingly, giraffes and humans have the same number of

vertebrae in their necks.

Adaptation Applications: Giraffe

Page 17: Animal adoptation by ASIF KANTH

How do zebras defend themselves?

Capable of running up to 40 mph. Zebras defend themselves by kicking and biting. Coloration also plays a role in evading

predators, although theories have not reached an agreement.

Adaptation Applications: Zebras

This is a very special kind of deep sleep

It is brought on by short day lengths, cold

temperatures and food shortages

It is a survival strategyDropping into a deep

hibernation means animals are using less energy

Food is scarceAnimals miss the cold

seasons

What is hibernation?

Why do animals hibernate?

Page 19: Animal adoptation by ASIF KANTH

They try to put on as much fat as possible because they wont be eating much during the winter

This is called brown fat, which is found across the back and shoulders, close to an animal’s organs

Brown fat works hard to deliver quick energy to an animal coming out of hibernation

How do animals prepare for hibernation?

On the whole we can conclude that adaptations are the sum of various physiological or structural modifications that take place in a part or

whole body of an organism so that they can accommodate themselves according to their external environment.
