Animal Adaptations and Their Functions

The video explains how adaptations are characteristics that help organisms survive in their environments. It covers various adaptations in grasshoppers, predators, herbivores, desert plants, cold-climate animals, and aquatic organisms. Each section highlights specific adaptations like antennae, sharp claws, flat teeth, waxy stems, thick fur, and webbed feet, demonstrating how these features aid in survival. The video concludes with a summary and encouragement for further learning.
