00:00:04.500 --> 00:00:07.680
animal adaptations

4
00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:09.720
when something that we are doing isn't

5
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:11.900
working we often do something different

6
00:00:11.900 --> 00:00:14.639
this means that we change our Behavior

7
00:00:14.639 --> 00:00:17.400
to fit with the new circumstance another

8
00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:20.340
word for change is adapt if you have

9
00:00:20.340 --> 00:00:22.079
ever moved from one home to another

10
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:24.380
you've had to adapt to a new school

11
00:00:24.380 --> 00:00:27.779
neighborhood and location if you happen

12
00:00:27.779 --> 00:00:30.119
to move to a different country you may

13
00:00:30.119 --> 00:00:32.159
have had to adapt to an entirely new

14
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:35.159
language and culture adaptations can be

15
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:38.340
big like moving to a new place or they

16
00:00:38.340 --> 00:00:41.159
can be small an example of a small

17
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:43.620
adaptation might be visiting a place

18
00:00:43.620 --> 00:00:45.540
with a different time zone than yours

19
00:00:45.540 --> 00:00:48.059
you might visit somewhere where 8 PM

20
00:00:48.059 --> 00:00:51.300
your time is 11 pm their time

21
00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:53.640
your body would need to adapt to the

22
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.340
three hour time difference after a few

23
00:00:56.340 --> 00:00:58.559
days your body would get used to the new

24
00:00:58.559 --> 00:01:01.680
time zone that means it would adapt to

25
00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:03.180
the change in time

26
00:01:03.180 --> 00:01:06.299
humans aren't the only ones that adapt

27
00:01:06.299 --> 00:01:09.060
adaptations are the special features

28
00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:11.819
that help an animal live and survive in

29
00:01:11.819 --> 00:01:14.520
certain places or habitats there are

30
00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:17.000
three kinds of animal adaptations

31
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:21.020
behavioral physical and life cycle

32
00:01:21.020 --> 00:01:23.000
Behavioral

33
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.340
animals behave in a certain way to help

34
00:01:26.340 --> 00:01:27.799
them adapt to their environment

35
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.840
migration is a behavioral adaptation

36
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.500
that some animals use migration is when

37
00:01:34.500 --> 00:01:36.360
an animal moves from one location to

38
00:01:36.360 --> 00:01:39.240
another animals typically migrate during

39
00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:42.000
the winter months when it gets cold they

40
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.880
migrate or move to warmer locations they

41
00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:46.740
do this so they can find food and

42
00:01:46.740 --> 00:01:47.880
survive

43
00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:50.939
a bird called the Arctic turn

44
00:01:50.939 --> 00:01:53.579
migrates from the North Pole and flies

45
00:01:53.579 --> 00:01:56.040
South to Antarctica the monarch

46
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:58.799
butterfly travels South and West each

47
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.619
Autumn it migrates because it will die

48
00:02:01.619 --> 00:02:05.040
if it gets too cold blue whales which

49
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.020
are the largest animals in the world

50
00:02:07.020 --> 00:02:10.440
swim up to 16 000 Miles when they

51
00:02:10.440 --> 00:02:12.360
migrate that's one of the longest

52
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:15.840
migration Paths of all animals humpback

53
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.060
whales go all the way from the North

54
00:02:18.060 --> 00:02:20.520
Pole to the South Pole to escape the

55
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:21.480
cold

56
00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:24.000
maybe you've even done some migrating of

57
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.459
your own during winter have you ever

58
00:02:26.459 --> 00:02:28.500
taken a vacation to a warm place to

59
00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:31.200
escape the cold weather hibernation is

60
00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:33.480
another way that animals adapt their

61
00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:36.419
behavior when an animal hibernates it

62
00:02:36.419 --> 00:02:38.280
stays in one place and sleeps through

63
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:39.360
the winter

64
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.639
when the weather warms up the animal

65
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:42.959
wakes up

66
00:02:42.959 --> 00:02:45.419
one type of animal that hibernates is

67
00:02:45.419 --> 00:02:48.840
bears bears eat large amounts of food in

68
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:51.840
preparation for hibernation in fact they

69
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.840
eat up to 90 pounds of food every single

70
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:55.980
day

71
00:02:55.980 --> 00:02:59.400
during hibernation Bears lose a quarter

72
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.519
to almost half of their body weight some

73
00:03:02.519 --> 00:03:04.680
bears hibernate up to seven months

74
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.440
without drinking eating or going to the

75
00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:10.440
bathroom other animals sleep lightly

76
00:03:10.440 --> 00:03:12.239
during hibernation

77
00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:16.080
skunks raccoons and Chipmunks wake up

78
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:17.760
for short periods of time during

79
00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:20.159
hibernation to go to the bathroom and to

80
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:21.239
find food

81
00:03:21.239 --> 00:03:25.260
snakes Turtles and frogs go into a

82
00:03:25.260 --> 00:03:28.739
state-like hibernation called brumation

83
00:03:28.739 --> 00:03:32.040
brumation is a type of hibernation for

84
00:03:32.040 --> 00:03:34.500
cold-blooded animals a lot of these

85
00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:37.019
animals go underground to hibernate to

86
00:03:37.019 --> 00:03:38.879
protect themselves from the cold

87
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.120
during brumation their metabolism slows

88
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.580
way down and they become less active

89
00:03:44.580 --> 00:03:47.879
they also sleep for long periods of time

90
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:50.580
another way animals adapt their behavior

91
00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:52.879
is in their interactions with each other

92
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.500
monkeys help each other out by eating

93
00:03:55.500 --> 00:03:57.780
the parasites or bugs off their buddies

94
00:03:57.780 --> 00:04:00.959
backs Plover birds fly into the mouths

95
00:04:00.959 --> 00:04:03.420
of crocodiles where they clean out the

96
00:04:03.420 --> 00:04:06.120
crocodile's teeth after it has eaten the

97
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.340
Plover bird gets a meal while the

98
00:04:08.340 --> 00:04:10.860
crocodile gets a teeth cleaning as a

99
00:04:10.860 --> 00:04:13.799
bonus the Plover bird doesn't get eaten

100
00:04:13.799 --> 00:04:16.139
by the crocodile the way that some

101
00:04:16.139 --> 00:04:18.660
animals move is another way that they

102
00:04:18.660 --> 00:04:22.019
behaviorally adapt bats sleep during the

103
00:04:22.019 --> 00:04:24.540
day and fly at night when it's cooler

104
00:04:24.540 --> 00:04:27.779
Ducks geese and penguins have webbed

105
00:04:27.779 --> 00:04:29.759
feet that help them paddle through the

106
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:30.540
water

107
00:04:30.540 --> 00:04:33.000
some animals use sounds to communicate

108
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.639
with each other and for protection a

109
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:39.600
female lion roars to protect her babies

110
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.180
Birds calls are used to communicate with

111
00:04:42.180 --> 00:04:44.580
each other beavers slap their tails on

112
00:04:44.580 --> 00:04:46.320
the surface of water to warn other

113
00:04:46.320 --> 00:04:48.479
beavers of danger and to frighten their

114
00:04:48.479 --> 00:04:49.800
enemies

115
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:51.960
physical

116
00:04:51.960 --> 00:04:54.419
the second way animals adapt is

117
00:04:54.419 --> 00:04:57.180
physically some animals use their claws

118
00:04:57.180 --> 00:04:59.120
for catching and gripping their prey

119
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.800
others use them for climbing trees and

120
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.860
digging the fur on a bear helps keep it

121
00:05:04.860 --> 00:05:06.600
warm during cold weather

122
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.479
the ostrich has thick feathers to help

123
00:05:09.479 --> 00:05:12.180
it look bigger and scare away predators

124
00:05:12.180 --> 00:05:15.180
prairie dogs have sharp claws to help it

125
00:05:15.180 --> 00:05:17.820
dig their Burrows and sharp hearing so

126
00:05:17.820 --> 00:05:20.220
they can hear if a predator is coming

127
00:05:20.220 --> 00:05:23.339
Atlantic salmon have four sets of gills

128
00:05:23.339 --> 00:05:25.860
which allow them to go back and forth

129
00:05:25.860 --> 00:05:28.620
between fresh water and salt water

130
00:05:28.620 --> 00:05:30.960
some animals use camouflage for

131
00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:33.300
protection and to also help them find a

132
00:05:33.300 --> 00:05:35.759
mate camouflage means that an animal

133
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:38.699
uses its colors or appearance to help it

134
00:05:38.699 --> 00:05:40.680
blend into its environment

135
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:44.039
some sharks and tuna fish are darker on

136
00:05:44.039 --> 00:05:46.080
the top of their bodies and lighter on

137
00:05:46.080 --> 00:05:48.839
the bottom that kind of camouflage is

138
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.300
called counter shading it helps them

139
00:05:51.300 --> 00:05:54.120
blend into the water it not only helps

140
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.880
them catch fish to eat but also not get

141
00:05:56.880 --> 00:06:00.060
caught themselves other fish use various

142
00:06:00.060 --> 00:06:02.460
color patterns that help them blend into

143
00:06:02.460 --> 00:06:04.919
their surroundings and avoid being seen

144
00:06:04.919 --> 00:06:06.120
by a predator

145
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:08.400
chameleons have many different

146
00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:11.880
adaptations that help them survive the

147
00:06:11.880 --> 00:06:14.460
half circle on their head helps them not

148
00:06:14.460 --> 00:06:17.160
only attract a mate but to catch Dew for

149
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.639
drinking they also have eyes that pivot

150
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:23.160
which helps them see fast moving prey

151
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:25.800
their skin changes color too this

152
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:27.839
enables them to blend into their

153
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:30.479
environment it also makes their enemies

154
00:06:30.479 --> 00:06:32.819
nervous which hopefully keeps them away

155
00:06:32.819 --> 00:06:35.339
the colors help chameleons attract a

156
00:06:35.339 --> 00:06:36.539
mate as well

157
00:06:36.539 --> 00:06:39.600
life cycle adaptations

158
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.360
the Third Way an animal adapts to its

159
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.100
environment is through a life cycle

160
00:06:44.100 --> 00:06:45.539
adaptation

161
00:06:45.539 --> 00:06:48.660
a life cycle adaptation is the process

162
00:06:48.660 --> 00:06:50.699
an animal goes through to help it

163
00:06:50.699 --> 00:06:51.779
survive

164
00:06:51.779 --> 00:06:54.479
when we talk about life cycle we are

165
00:06:54.479 --> 00:06:57.060
talking about how an organism grows or

166
00:06:57.060 --> 00:07:00.360
changes from birth into adulthood

167
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.360
frogs start their lives as eggs that are

168
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.300
hatched from an adult frog tadpoles then

169
00:07:06.300 --> 00:07:08.160
hatch from those eggs

170
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:10.500
those little tadpoles eventually grow

171
00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:13.380
two front legs two more legs gradually

172
00:07:13.380 --> 00:07:15.120
appear in the back

173
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.400
the tadpoles then turn into a froglet

174
00:07:17.400 --> 00:07:19.979
which looks just like an adult frog only

175
00:07:19.979 --> 00:07:21.300
with a tail

176
00:07:21.300 --> 00:07:24.539
finally the frog that loses its tail and

177
00:07:24.539 --> 00:07:26.580
becomes an adult frog

178
00:07:26.580 --> 00:07:29.280
some adaptations change over time

179
00:07:29.280 --> 00:07:32.160
depending on the needs of the animal for

180
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.280
example a frog starts out with gills so

181
00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:37.740
they can live in water which eventually

182
00:07:37.740 --> 00:07:40.440
turn into lungs so they can live on land

183
00:07:40.440 --> 00:07:44.039
the life cycle of a butterfly includes

184
00:07:44.039 --> 00:07:45.360
four stages

185
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.180
it starts out as an egg then changes

186
00:07:48.180 --> 00:07:51.180
into a caterpillar from a caterpillar it

187
00:07:51.180 --> 00:07:53.880
becomes a pupa and then finally an adult

188
00:07:53.880 --> 00:07:55.500
butterfly

189
00:07:55.500 --> 00:07:58.620
without adaptation no living organism

190
00:07:58.620 --> 00:08:01.139
