Amazing Animal Adaptations
Animals live all over the world, from the hot, sandy deserts to the freezing Arctic ice. In each habitat, they have special skills and body parts that help them survive. These are called adaptations. Take tigers, for instance. Tigers have striped fur, which helps them blend in with the tall grasses of the jungle. This makes them invisible to their prey. In the harsh desert, camels can go for days without water. They store fat in their humps that can be used for energy and water when food is scarce. Dolphins, in the warm ocean, have a streamlined body shape for fast swimming and fins for steering. Lastly, polar bears in the Arctic have thick fur and a layer of fat to keep them warm. Whether it's a tiger in the jungle or a polar bear in the Arctic, every animal is perfectly adapted to its habitat. This is why it's important to protect these habitats, so all animals can continue to survive and thrive.
