Adaptation Vocab Review • Some physical traits are superior to others. (better than) • These traits allow animals to survive in their environments
Adaptation Vocab Review • Adaptation: a characteristic or trait that helps an organism survive in its environment.
Evolution: the gradual change in the traits (that helps a species survive) of a species that leads to the development of new species. Different traits exist because of genetic variation and the best traits are passed on through natural selection.
New Vocab • Species:a group of organisms that can reproduce with each other to produce fertile offspring.
New Vocab • Speciation: A new species develop through evolution. • The offspring of two different species are sterile. • Sterile: can not have babies
New Vocab • Habitat:a specific place where an animal lives and the food, water, shelter, and other basic needs of survival that exist there
Examples of Adaptations- Bald Eagle: • Has very good eyesight to spot prey • Has very sharp claws and beak to rip apart prey.
Examples of Adaptations- Camels • Have long eyelashes and nostrils that open and close to keep dust out • Can go a week without water or a month without food • Store fat in their humps
Examples of Adaptations- Penguins • Webbed feet for fast swimming • Thick skin with a lot of fat to stay warm • Often huddle together to stay warm
Examples of Adaptations- Snakes • Can stretch their jaws to swallow prey whole • Teeth are curved backwards to keep prey from wiggling out • Windpipes move so that the snake can still breath while swallowing
