What is Adaptation?
	• An adaptation is something about an animal that makes it possible for it to live in a particular place and in a particular way. It may be a physical adaptation, like the size or shape of the animal's body, or the way in which its body works. Or it may be the way the animal behaves. • As the environment changes, animals that cannot adapt die out. • Adaptations make it possible for a great variety of creatures to live and thrive on earth.
