Exploring Animal Adaptations: Hibernation and Migration

The video tutorial introduces the concept of adaptation in animals, focusing on three main types: camouflage, hibernation, and migration. Camouflage helps animals blend into their environment to avoid predators and catch prey. Hibernation allows animals to survive cold seasons by entering a deep sleep. Migration involves traveling long distances for better climates, breeding, or food. The video provides examples of each adaptation type, such as stick insects for camouflage, bears for hibernation, and Canadian geese for migration.
