Animal adaptations are special features that help animals survive in their homes, or habitats. For example, a polar bear has thick fur and a layer of fat to keep it warm in the cold Arctic. This way, it can hunt for food and stay safe from freezing temperatures. Other animals, like chameleons, can change their color to blend in with their surroundings, helping them hide from predators. These adaptations help animals find food and stay alive!
