Quelles sont les adaptations morphologiques ou comportementales qui aident à la survie d’un animal dans son milieu de vie ?
What are the physical or behavioural adaptations which help it to survive in its environment ?
Introduction
Wildlife is developing everywhere on Earth, even in very cold or very hot places, even in many places with apparently very inhospitable conditions…
The question is :
HOW CAN ANIMALS LIVE IN SUCH DIFFERENT PLACES IN THE WORLD ?
Animals can live in many different environments because they have special adaptations to the area they live in.
One answer is : Wildlife is adapted to the conditions of the habitats in which they live.
WHAT’S AN ADAPTATION ?
An adaptation is a feature (characteristic) that helps the animal survive in its environment. Adaptations can be physical, behavioural or physiological.
(1) Anatomical adaptations are physical features such as an animals shape.
(2) Behavioural adaptations can be inherited or learnt. It includes tool use, language and swarming behaviour.
(3) Physiological adaptations include the capacity not to suffer from vertigo the ability to make venom ; but also more general functions such as temperature regulation.
