Why do ostriches have wings? Sometimes an animal’s adaptation no longer serves a purpose. It’s called a vestigial structure. What are they and do we humans have any? You bet we do. Find out what some of them are.
Animal Adaptations [ˈa-nǝ-mǝl ˌa-ˌdap-ˈtā-shǝn-z]
The way an animal changes in order to better survive under new conditions.
An adaptation is a change in the way an animal looks or behaves in response to its environment. Birds have adaptations to help them fly. Butterflies are different colors to help them hide from predators. Bats hunt at sunset and sunrise because that’s when the bugs are out. There are three basic kinds of adaptions: body parts, body coverings, and behaviors. Learn more about how animals survive using animal adaptations on this episode of Science Trek!
