Animal Informative Speech

Have you ever wondered why a hippos sweat is red or why some gecko's tails can break off when grabbed by a predator, those are both animal adaptations. So what is an animal adaptation? As said on encyclopedia.com an adaptation is a term used to describe the way in which organisms change over time in response to the changing demands of their environment. There are three types of adaptations Behavioral physiological and structural, there's also mimicry adaptation, depending on who you talk to about the subject.

There are four types of adaptations
the animal must learn to adapt to each of these factors in order to survive. With increasing population growth and human activity that disturbs the natural habitat, animals must learn to adapt to these kind of threats as well.Some places on Earth are very hot and some are very cold. Many places on Earth have a lot of water and plants, and other places have very little water and few plants. Since our earth is very different in each area of the world animals need to adapt to live in certain areas. They adapt by having a layer of fat under its skin which helps keep the animal warm up in antarctica or by having large ears help dissipate excess body heat on hot days in the desert.An animal's environment consists of many different things. The climate is important. Whether it is hot, cold, dry, or wet will have an effect on all the creatures that live in a particular place.Another important part of an animal's environment is what kinds of food plants grow in it. The other animals that live there also have an effect. If there are predators around, the prey animals will have to learn to defend themselves or run fast to escape the predators.These adaptations make it possible for a great variety of creatures to live and thrive on
