What are the adaptations of animals?
Animal adaptation describes all the ways that animals know how to survive in their habitat. Animal adaptation doesn't happen immediately – it's taken many years of new generations of animals being born with characteristics that have suited their habitat better.
What are 4 examples of adaptations?
Examples include the long necks of giraffes for feeding in the tops of trees, the streamlined bodies of aquatic fish and mammals, the light bones of flying birds and mammals, and the long daggerlike canine teeth of carnivores.

Structural and Behavioral Adaptations
An example of a structural adaptation is the way some plants have adapted to life in dry, hot deserts. Plants called succulents have adapted to this climate by storing water in their short, thick stems and leaves. Seasonal migration is an example of a behavioral adaptation.
