Behavioral Adaptations by: Catelyn Bradley, Tayli Sosa, Carynelle Espada, Jaden Kott What are Behavioral Adaptations? -Every organism has adaptations that help them survive. -Behavioral Adaptations are things an animal does to survive. -An example is an adaptation is when bears hibernate in the winter. -Adaptations are the results of evolution. -Over time animals that are better adapted to their environment survive and breed. -Animals that are not adapted to an environment may not survive and die. -Some forms of adaptations are hibernation,migration, and estivation. Migration Migration is the seasonal movement of animals from one region to another. Animals migrate to find food or more livable conditions. Examples of animals who migrate: -birds-mammals -fish-reptiles -amphibians -insects Hibernation Hibernation is when animals sleep for the winter. Animals hibernate to conserve energy. They also do it to survive longer when food is scarce. Examples of animals that hibernate: -bears -snakes -skunks -bats Estivation Estivation is when an animal conserves its energy. It is a form of hibernation. It lowers it energy needs. Some animals that estivate are: -Hedgehogs -Crocodiles -Snakes https://www.studyblue.com/notes/note/n/zoo-400-study-guide linder/deck/ Bears During Hibernation Left- Side Activity Answer Choices: Migration Estivation Hibernation Behavior Adaptations Activity Answer Key 1. down - Hibernation 2. down - Migration 3. across - Behavior 4. down - Estivation 5. down - Adaptations Sources -http://www.nhptv.org/natureworks/nwep1.htmhttp://www.nhptv.org/natureworks/nwep1.htm -http://study.com/academy/lesson/estivation-definition-examples.html
