We learned that the place where a living thing lives is called a habitat and that all of the living things needs must be met within its habitat. There are polar, mountain, jungle, and ocean, desert, and grassland habitats in the world. Then we learned that adaptations are characteristics that help living things survive such as a jackrabbit having large ears that help keep their blood cool. We learned that plants and animals have three types of adaptations: behavioral, physical, and lifecycle. The physical adaptations might involve body parts, body covering, or color and shape. One example is the bright color of a rose attracts pollinators, but the thorns keep plant-eating animals away. Other examples of physical adaptations are sharp teeth, webbed feet, and camouflage. Another example is mimicry. Mimicry is when an animal or plant looks like another animal or plant that is poisonous or has a painful sting, a predator will think twice before trying to eat it. Life cycle adaptations are changes in the length of stages of growth and development related to an organism’s habitat. Behavioral adaptations are learned behaviors or instincts. For example migration and hibernation are instincts but hunting for food is a learned behavior.
