How do animals adapt to their environment?

Animals adapt to their environment in various ways, especially in South Africa. Some develop physical features like thick fur or large ears to regulate body temperature. Others, like the chameleon, change color to blend in with their surroundings. Some animals alter their behavior, like migrating or hibernating. For example, the African penguin has adapted to the hot climate by developing unique ways to keep cool. These adaptations are crucial for survival and reproduction. By understanding how animals adapt, students can appreciate the diversity of life and how species continue to thrive in different environments.
