Adaptation of an Animal



Adaptation is when an animal has succesful traits in relation to the environment to survive. The photo above is a camel, an example of adaptation. Camels have thick fur which protects them from cold nights and acts as an insulation towards the sun. The humps of the camel store fat, so it can go long distances without food and water. The long eyelashes, strong legs, and leathery patches protects the camel from the dangers of the desert. This adaptation makes the camel one of the few organisms that can survive in the desert. The fur color of polar bears and deers are also adaptations to blend in.
