How Do Animals Survive In The Wild?

2. Defend against predators Find mates for reproduction
Basic Animal
Requirements:
Find food to grow
Defend against predators
Find mates for reproduction

3. How do these factors help animals survive?
Body parts—structural adaptation
Behavioral adaptation
Physiological adaptation
Learned behavior
Coloration/Camouflage

4. Structural Adaptation

5. Structural Adaptation
A body part that aids in survival
Examples:
Fins
Gills
Teeth
Streamline body
No eye lids

6. How do different feet types aid in survival?

7. Structural Adaptation
A body part that aids in survival
Examples:
Heron’s feet are for wading in mud
Eagle’s feet for grabbing and holding prey
Duck’s feet are for swimming
Sparrow’s feet are for perching

9. Behavioral Adaptation

10. Behavioral Adaptation
An action that aids in survival
Clown fish seek shelter from predators in sea anemones. Sea anemones are poisonous to other marine creatures.

11. Behavioral Adaptation

12. Behavioral Adaptation
An action that aids in survival
Lions stay together in a pride. As a group they can help each other hunt, care for young, and watch for danger.

14. Physiological Adaptation

15. Physiological Adaptation
Jobs of the body parts controlling life process that aid in survival.
A bear’s body slows down in the winter. This helps them survive the long winter temperature and scarce food during winter months. Many know this as hibernation. Most bears do not sleep through the entire winter. They do get up and change dens, so this is not true hibernation, but a winter sleep.

16. Physiological Adaptation

17. Physiological Adaptation
Jobs of the body parts controlling life process that aid in survival.
Dolphins are mammals and need to breath air. They spend their entire lives in the water and their body’s have adapted so that they can hold their breath for several minutes.

19. I have learned to adapt to my new home.

20. I have learned to live in your backyard.

21. Learned Behavior
Humans have destroyed many animal habitats. Many animals have learned to adapt to their new surroundings. They have found shelter, food, and learned how to stay away from moving vehicles (well most of the time).

Coloration/Camouflage

23. Camouflage
Protective
Coloration

24. Camouflage
Protective
Coloration

25. Camouflage Protective Coloration
Camouflage in which colors and patterns of organisms match the surrounds. This helps animals hide from predators.

26. Camouflage Protective Resemblance

27. Camouflage Protective
Resemblance
Vice Roy
Monarch

28. Camouflage Protective Resemblance
Camouflage in which shapes and colors of organisms match other objects in the surroundings.
The milk snake (top) resembles the poisonous coral snake(bottom).
The vice roy butterfly (top) resembles the sour-tasting monarch (bottom).

29. Dart frogs use
warning color

30. Protective Coloration
Many animals only line of defense is their colors. The warning colors of red, yellow, orange, and bright blue warn others that these animals might be dangerous and should be avoided! These dart frogs are poisonous.
