  1. animals learn to live with their enviroment. for example at the begining of highschool you are a little nervous, but later on you adapt, or get used to your enviroment.


  2. That means that it has altered itself to fit the environment.

    So if an animal's food supply died out, it would hopefully adapt by finding something else to eat.

  3. it basically means that they adapt to their enviornment for the better! if they are a water snake, they might adapt by getting fins of some sort. if they live in the desert, they might want to be able to slice open cactai for water, or have a liquid storage place!

    hope i helped!!

  4. It means they evolved a trait that takes advantage of the environment they inhabit.

  5. Adaptation is when an animal undergoes a certain change in order to be better suited for their environment. For example, and bird that eats nuts would have a more bigger beak in order to crack the nut. this means that since the bird was living on nuts. The bird underwent a change in order to be better uited with cracking nuts.

  6. they evolve, through means of survival of the fittest

  7. adaptation is a positive characteristic of an organism that has been favored by natural selection and increases the fitness of its possessor.Of course, an adaptation must have been adaptive at some point in an organism's evolutionary history, but such an organism's environment and ecological niche can change over time, leading to adaptations becoming redundant or even a hindrance (maladaptations). Such adaptations are termed vestigial.

    Adaptation , consist of 3 kind:

    - Morfology Adaptation

    - Fisiology adaptation

    - Behavioral Adaptation

  8. it means getting use to...for ex:lets say u live in california nice n sunny, and u moved to newe york were its cold and snowy...you would have to adapt to new yorks tempature people ect.
