Study Notes

Animals can survive in various environments due to adaptations, which are physical, behavioral, or physiological features that aid their survival.
Adaptations have developed through evolution, allowing animals to obtain food, stay safe, build homes, withstand weather, and attract mates.
Small desert rodents illustrate adaptations: nocturnal behavior, dark-adapted eyes, and water-retaining metabolism.
Adaptations include: bird beaks' shapes, finger shapes, fur color, fur thickness, and nose/ear shapes.
Mimicry adaptation involves an organism taking on the appearance of another to blend in or deceive, such as the hawkmoth imitating a dead leaf.
Biomes are defined by similar climatic conditions, encompassing communities of plants, animals, and soil organisms. (Also referred to as ecosystems.)
