their body temperature
* have hair or fur on their body
* have ways to get water, food, and shelter
* they live in different kinds of habitats (ocean, desert, rainforest, arctic).
* they have ways to survive in their habitat because their bodies can adapt to live in a cold or hot environment and some can even camouflage to blend in.
