Adaptation refers to the process of an organism adjusting to its environment to increase its chances of survival and reproduction. This can be seen through three different ways: Structural, Behavioural, and Physiological.
What are these different adaptations?
There are three different types of Adaptations:
Structural, Behavioural, and Physiological.
Structural Adaptations: These are the physical features of an organism's body that enhance its ability to survive in its environment. For example, a polar bear's thick fur provides insulation against its cold environment.
Physiological Adaptations: These involve internal body processes or functions that help an organism survive in its environment. For example, camels can conserve water, which helps them survive in their dry, hot environment.
Behavioural adaptations: These are the actions that organisms perform to survive and reproduce in their environments. For example, bats sleep during the day, rather than at night, to avoid daytime predators in their environment.

What is the difference between the adaptations?
Structural adaptations are the physical features of an animal's body that help them survive, whereas physiological adaptations are internal processes that help them survive. Finally, the behavioural adaptations involve the behaviours animals perform for survival.
However, our focus is the Structural Adaptations of animals, which we will continue to explore.
