 * Life Science-Animals **
 * Part 2 of 2 **
 * 1. An adaptation is a body part or behavior that helps an animal meet its needs in its environment. **
 * 2. Four examples of body part adaptations to meet basic needs are beaks, body coverings, camouflage, and mimicry. **
 * 3. Beaks can be thick and heavy to crack open seeds, short and stubby to eat fruit, or sharp and pointed to eat insects. **
 * 4. There are three different kinds of body coverings: feathers, fur or hair, and scales. **
 * 5. Feathers protect birds and help them fly. Fur or Hair keeps an animal warm. Scales help protect fish from other animals that live in water and reptiles from drying out. **
 * 6. A polar bear having clear hair that allows the light to pass through is an example of how animals have special adaptations to meet the needs in their environment. **
 * 7. Camouflage is an animal’s color or pattern that helps it blend in with its surroundings. **
 * Example: The dark skin on an alligators back makes it blend into the swamps where it lives. **
 * 8. Mimicry is an adaptation in which an animal looks very much like another animal. **
 * Example: The viceroy butterfly is a mimic because it looks like a bad-tasting monarch butterfly. **
 * 9. An instinct is a behavior that an animal BEGINS life with. This is not a LEARNED behavior. **
 * 10. One example of an instinct is Migration. Migration is the movement of a group of one type of animal from on region to another back again. **
 * Example: Some Canadian birds travel south during winter months to find food and a good climate and return to Canada in the spring when the weather warms up. **
 * Example: Some animals have an instinct to migrate to places where their young cans survive. Gray whales spend the summer in areas where they can find food easily-near the North Pole. **
 * 11. Not all animals have the instinct to migrate as winter brings colder temperatures and a lack of food. Some animals adapt to these changes by hibernating. Hibernation is a period when an animal goes into a long, deep “sleep.” **
 * 12. An animal prepares to hibernate by eating extra food and finding shelter. **
 * 13. Animals need little to no food because during hibernation the animal’s body temperature drops and its breathing rate and heart rate falls. **
 * Examples of animals that hibernate: bears and ground squirrels **
 * 14. Learned behaviors are not instincts. It is a behavior that developed by watching or hearing other animals. **
 * Example: Tiger cubs learn to hunting skills by watching its mother hunt and by playing with other tiger cubs. **
 * Example: Chimpanzees learn many behaviors that help them survive. Chimps’ uses sounds that help them communicate with one another. Warning/danger sounds as well as happy sounds help them survive. **
 * Example: Teaching a dog how to sit before getting a treat is also a learned behavior. **
