Question

Explain the three types of adaptations in animals.

Answer 1

Three types of adaptations are seen in animals. They are:

1. Structural adaptations:
   Changes in the physical features of the animal are called structural adaptations.
   Example: Polar bears Jiving in cold climates have physical adaptations, such as thick fur and short ears to reduce heat loss.
2. Physiological adaptations:
   Changes in the functions of the animal’s body are called physiological adaptations.
   Example: Dog shivers to generate more heat when it is cold and pants when it is hot.
3. Behavioral adaptations:
   Changes in the activities of the animal are behavioral adaptations.
   Example: Birds migrate to avoid adverse conditions.
