ANIMALS ADAPTATION How Adaptation In Animals Work The Dr Binocs Show Peekaboo Kidz

don't be scared little kitty she will go away those years are result of adaptation that helped them to survive and thrive in the wild adaptation yes little kitty let me tell you more about the techniques our animal friends use to live hey friends in today's episode let us learn about an important topic called adaptation of animals and explore some surprising facts behind it zoom in the ancient greek philosopher heroclitus once said the only thing constant is change and this stays absolutely true when it comes to the animal kingdom as they need to find ways to adapt to conditions that are gradually or suddenly different from pre-existing ones this means adapting to survive the climatic conditions of the ecosystem predators and other animals that compete for the same food and resources in simple words the process of adjusting according to the environment and situation is called adaptation but the constant question is how do these animals adapt well there are three types of adaptation processes in the animal world that is behavioral structural and physiological let me take you through each one of them one by one first let us take peek at the behavioral adaptation of animals adaptations that affect how an organism acts or responses made by an animal that helps it to survive and reproduce are called behavioral adaptations let me tell you through few examples as we know bears are very active and energetic animals but every year during winter some of the best species tend to go into hibernation or deep sleep depending upon the snowfall temperature and food supply similarly many bird species and whales tend to migrate to warmer place during winter behavioral adaptation is crucial for all animals to find ways to raise the food they need and cope with particularly given climate next let us look into the structural adaptation and what is that in this process an organism's environment shapes its appearance meaning an organism develops body feature that helps it survive and thrive it may be in the way the body works in circulating and respiration for instance the gills that fishes have allows them to breathe inside water or as you must have noticed that the desert foxes have large ears for heat radiation the arctic foxes have small years to retain body heat in short in structural adaptation animals and birds develop physical parts through evolution that allow them to find and consume food defend themselves and reproduce their species and last comes the physiological adaptation which is an internal body mechanism of an animal provoked by external stimuli that helps them to survive and reproduce yes my dear friends things like metabolism and body chemistry play crucial role during this process we can notice this phenomenon in animals like kangaroo rats who have efficient kidneys or the presence of compounds that prevent blood coagulation in mosquito saliva in other words physiological adaptation helps the animals to maintain body equilibrium or homeostasis which is the state of steady internal physical and chemical conditions maintained by living systems so here we go my friends now you know how these wonderful animals manage to survive in challenging competitive and ever-changing environment with the help of adaptation and next time you see an animal behaving and acting in certain way always remember that it is because they have evolved that way according to their ecosystem and need to stay there for their good no wonder your parents refuse to adopt that python as pet trip your time did you know the darkest gazelle never has to drink water or urinate yes though they will drink water when it's available this small species of north african antelope can get all the water it needs from the food in its diet also the alex antelope changes color with the seasons yes to cope with the unforgiving desert sun the alex sports white coat in the summer which reflects sunlight but in winter the coat turns brownish gray to better absorb heat wow isn't it amazing friends hope you learned something new in today's episode until next time it's me dr binox zooming out never mind
