Animal Adaptations




     Animal adaptation, a behavior or physical trait that is used to give a animal an advantage. Animals will often use adaptations to help them survive in a certain area. Some adaptations are given to animals at birth and some have to be learned through world experience.

     The main objective for an animal is to survive in the world they live in. They must obtain food and shelter by using the best option available. If an animal’s adaptation can give them more food then other animals, then the animal will most likely use it to obtain more food. The main goal of the animal is to obtain as much food as possible to last a lifetime. The animal must survive in the world they live in or they will die tomorrow. How much food an animal has will determine their life expectancy.

     Overtime, events can cause the animal to migrate to other areas. But, the animal must survive wherever it chooses to travel to. For example, an animal that moves to a colder environment must learn a new way to obtain food in cold and be strong enough to last the winter night. The animal must be willing to endure whatever pain necessary to obtain the food and live.

     Usually, animals will use their adaptations to win something or gain something. An adaptation is a way for an animal to move faster than the rest of the group. This speed can be used to obtain more food with less effort. Some animals will die because one animal gained an adaptation.

     Animals unable to learn a new idea or use born skill when the environment changes, will die after a couple of weeks. As time goes on, rules and environments change. The animal must learn new methods for obtaining food over time. They must learn how to survive even if they are given a disadvantage in life. The goal of all humans and animals is to obtain food to live to see another day. There are other goals in life. But, survival is about getting food and shelter.
