All animals live in habitats. Habitats provide food, water, and shelter which animals need to survive, but there is more to survival than just the habitat. Animals also depend on their physical features and their behaviors to help them be successful in their natural habitats.
Physical, bodily features that help animals survive are called physical adaptations. Physical adaptations do not develop during an individual animal's life, but over many generations. The shape of a bird's beak, the color of a mammal’s fur, the thickness or thinness of the fur, the shape of the nose or ears are all examples of physical adaptations which help different animals survive.
Animals also have behavioral adaptations that have to do with their actions. Like physical adaptations, behavioral adaptations help an animal survive and flourish in its habitat.
Animals adapt for many different reasons:
Animals adapt for many different reasons:
- to find food
- to adjust their bodies to the temperature of their environment
- to defend themselves
- to find a mate
- to escape from predators and other dangers
- to adjust for the loss of their habitat
Evaluate what life would be like for a specific animal if it did not have physical adaptations to help it be successful in its environment. For example, determine what life would be like for a duck if it did not have webbed feet or for an eagle if it did not have sharp talons or for an owl if it did not have soft wing feathers to help it fly silently.
Choose an animal and write a paragraph describing what life would be life for that animal without the necessary physical adaptations to help it be successful.
Make sure to
- introduce the topic,
- tell about your animal,
- tell about the physical adaptation
- and then provide at least 3 details of what it would be like if the animal did not have that physical adaptation.
- Don't forget a conclusion!
Animals have all sorts of Adaptations. Adaptations are nachaural things that happen in a animals life. Egample dogs shead fur in the summer and in the winter they grow a thik cout of fur . Every animal has difrent adaptations. by Sean
ReplyDeletesean that was a very important statement because yes all animals have adaptations by cameron
DeleteSean - Your paragraph has an opening and a conclusion but did you truly complete the assignment? Please look at the assignment again and tell me what you think. Mrs. Belinda
DeleteThink about a porcipine it has a spicky back and if it did not have a spicky back to protect it and could not drink water so it has to have these things to live.BRENNAN RHODES
ReplyDeleteBrennan - Interesting choice for your animal. Good points about needing these adaptations to live. The question is... Did you write a paragraph? Please look at what the assignment asked you to do and tell me what you think! Mrs. Belinda
DeletePretend a duck did not have webbed feet. How would it swim from preadators. If ducks could not swim very good it would become extinct very soon. It would not find food very well. That would be very hard to be a duck without webbed feet.Dean
ReplyDeleteDean - This is an excellent middle of a paragraph. Good organization and good reasons. Think about the assignment - did it ask for more than what you provided in this paragraph? Let me know what you think. Mrs. Belinda
DeleteAnimals have alot of physical adaptions .I'm showing you 2.The animal I'm doing is a treefrogs. Treefrog's stick to stuff and eat fly's if they didn't have physical adaptions they proably die.
ReplyDeleteI wish you had put your name at the end of your paragraph. You make some good points but I don't know who you are. Mrs. Belinda
DeleteAll wolves have packs but lets pretend they did not well they would have to catch little prey because they would be defeated without teamwork but they get much more of the meal. Cian Barber

DeleteCian - Is a pack an adaptation? I would like to know your thoughts on this question. Mrs. Belinda
Deleteyes packs help each other to survive the larger animals it helps satisfy there hunger. Cian Barber
DeleteSharks can't servive with out it's adaptations. Sharks needs it's teeth,fins,and gills. If sharks didn't have it's gills it could not breath under water. A shark's fins help them swim. A sharks teeth to get it pray. That is why sharks need there adaptations.Lillian
ReplyDeleteLillian - Good opening and closing. Are a shark's teeth, fins, and gills adaptations? Did they develop over time? I am interested in what you think about these questions. Mrs. Belinda
DeleteGreat, you explained how they are adaptations.
DeleteCian Barber
Life would be hard.All the other ducks would look different.It would be hard to swim.The other ducks would laugh .Thats why you need adaptations . by Brady
ReplyDeleteBrady - You have the components of the paragraph but your points are not clear. Do ducks laugh? What is your topic? Please let me know what you think about these questions. Mrs. Belinda
Deletebrady is this a joke you sound like your on a pbs kids show trying to teach someone a lesson you need mor real stuff like an predator would eat you or you would drown by Cameron
Deleteducks do not laugh . But you would look different . by Brady
DeleteBrooks - Why did you say that the other ducks would laugh?
DeleteI think all animals need a shelter. They all have phyicl adaptations to help them survive. They also have behavioral adaptations. If some animals can not find food they can die. La'Tariyahna
ReplyDeleteLa'Tariyahna - Did you read the assignment and follow the assignment details? Mrs. Belinda
DeletePretend a owl did not have soft wings it would be hard to find food.It would be hard to fly away from preadetors . And it would be hard to fly silently. That's why it would be very hard for an owl with out soft wings.Dominick
ReplyDeleteDominick - You did a great job catching up with the assignment. Help me to understand how soft wings help an owl find food. I think you have some good starting points but they don't complete the assignment. Mrs. Belinda
DeleteAnimal adaptations help animals live in the wild and in a new habitat. There are other are other types adaptations witch are physacal adaptations they happen over time. Behavior adaptations are in charge of actions.
ReplyDeleteIf an owl didn't have soft wings they could not catch there food and soon they would be extinct.
Owls have behavior adaptations witch are used for diving witch help the owl catch there prey.Owls
are very goodb at sneak attacks . That is why owls need adaptations.
Animal adaptations are very important , we also might need adaptations one day. Alex Vires
Alex - Your organization is terrific. Your content is a little off but you truly followed the assignment. How do soft wings help an owl catch their food? I would like to know! Mrs. Belinda
DeleteHabitats are amzing. Animals need the right habitat. Animals also have behavioral adaptations. A tree frog can stick on a leaf.They do that by haveing suckhuncups. Brooks
ReplyDeleteBrooks - You are very enthusiastic about habitats. You need to make sure you read and understand the assignment. If you don't understand ask questions or reread the information. Mrs. Belinda
DeleteThis is how a ducks life would without webbed feet. Then ducks wouldn't swim good . They also wouldn't be able to save babies. They all will die. That's how its like to be a duck without webbed feet.
ReplyDeleteI do not know who you are - you did not include your name. Mrs. Belinda
DeleteThis is Benjamin . Sorry.
Deleteif ducks didn't have webbed feet they couldn't swim well or go under water and catch fish that basicly means they couldn't eat meat. That's why I think adaptatoins are important.by anna
ReplyDeleteAnna - Do ducks go under water to catch fish? Please let me know what research you found about this topic. You did not respond to the assignment. Make sure you read and understand the assignment. Mrs. Belinda
Deletethe duck would not be abile to swim good. if the egle did not have talons it could not catch its prey.
ReplyDeleteI do not know who you are. You did not sign your name. Mrs. Belinda
