Adaptations in Nature

Some characteristics that help animals survive in their environment include specialized structures, such as feathers, eyes, flippers, and feet, that enable them to stay warm, see well, swim quickly, and find food while avoiding predators.

External structures, such as a penguin's strong flippers, help animals survive by providing them with the ability to swim through water and steer while swimming.
