11. All About Animal ADAPTATIONS
Today’s Goals:
Describe different adaptations animals have.
Explain how certain behaviors help animals to survive.

12. Anything that helps an organism survive in its environment is an adaptation.
Adaptations refer to the organism’s ability to adjust to different conditions within their environments.
