Adaptation Animals need to adapt to their
enviorment for them to survive and to have a
better life.

• There are different types of adaptation eating,
  moving, climet, defense, migration, and
  breathing.
• Some animals use camouflage to escape from
  preditors or to hunt other animals.
• There are some animals that have adapted to eat
  plants only and some to eat other animals.
• Animals need to have right body for them to adapt
  easily.

Polar Bear

• Polar bears use their white skin to camuflage
  under water to catch their prey.
• Polar bears are strong swimmers, they can stay
  under water for 2 minutes.
• Their fur is made out of hollow hairs which
  protects them from getting cold in water.
• Polar bears have long curved caws that are sharp.
  That helps them to hunt
• Polar bears have a very good sense of smell. That
  can help them catch their prey.

Beluga Whale

• Beluga whales are the only whales that turn their
  heads to communicate better.
• Belugas use sound for finding their prey.
• Belugas help each other while giving birth.
• When they are born belugas are grey and the first
  6 years they get lighter until the are completely
  white.
• They use their white skin to camouflage.

5
Harp Seal

• Their rear flippers are turned backwards, this
  helps them to swim better but it makes it harder
  for the to walk on land.
• Female seals have to be 1 year pregnant and that
  makes the harder for them because when the babies
  are born the mom has to take care of them and
  cant go to the water.
• The babies fur is really thin and they have to
  stay in a warm place so their fur grows thicker
  and gets darker.
• They use their white skin to camouflage from
  polar bears.

6
Penguin

• In all species the color separates baby penguins
  from adults.
• The colors of the baby penguins make them more
  visible against ice or snow.
• The penguin calls allow other penguins to
  recognize it.
• They use vocal and physical displays to
  communicate nesting territories.
