When a species looks different from another this is a physical adaptation. When an animal mates with another they produce an offspring with physical and behavioral traits that were passed down from their parents. If these traits can help an animal survive that specific animal tries to keep that deformity or trait within the family. These are mostly physical traits. An example of these are finches. …show more content…

An example of this is when certain birds migrate south for the winter, or when a bear hibernates for the winter. Both animals cannot survive by themselves in the cold, but changing their behavior will allow them to adapt to the cold weather; just in a different way.
Now some adaptions happen because there is competition in the environment. Yes, this world is hug, but this does not mean finches do not live in the same place. There can be many types of finches in one country, state, or even forest. To make this possible each species will adapt their behavior and physical traits so they can eat or inhabit different objects in the same area. There are even bugs that will adapt the color of their bodies so they can camouflage themselves in different areas. All these examples are called Niches. This is when an adaption happens to animals in the same area; just so they can survive.
With animals having the ability to adapt, each animal and species all are different in a little way, either physical or behavioral. This way animals are not competing for resources as much, and draw the to
