Adaptations
An Adaptation is how an animal lives. It adapts
to its surroundings by blending in with objects
like its color. For example the Arctic Wolf
blends in with the snow cause the wolf is White

Species Adaptations and Individual Adaptations
A species adaptation is how the whole species
adapts to their surroundings for example the
whole species of Arctic Wolves blend in with the
snow.
An individual adaptation is when only one animal
in the species adapts differently. For example if
all the arctic wolves blend in with snow while
one of them hide in bushes

Camouflage, hibernation, migration, and mimicry.
Hibernation is when an animal goes underground to
sleep for the winter. For example the grizzly
bear goes underground to sleep for the winter.
Camouflage is when animals blend in with their
surroundings. For example the arctic hare blends
in with the snow.
Migration is when animals move to one place to
another. For example geese fly south for the
winter.
Mimicry is when an animal sounds like another
animal. For example a type of caterpillar makes
its head to look like a snake head.

Genetics is something that you inherit from
someone your related to for example. If you have
brown eyes and your dad has brown eyes you get
brown eyes because your dad has the stronger gene.
Heredity is a characteristic that you get from
your parents. For example if you get anger issues
and if your parents have anger issues you get
that characteristic from your parents.
