Animal Adaptations and Survival Strategies

The video explains how different organisms adapt to their environments. Cacti survive in deserts due to features like reduced leaves and water storage. Camels store water and food in their humps and have adaptations for sandstorms. Polar bears are suited for cold regions with thick fur and claws for ice. Chameleons use color change for camouflage, while fish have gills for underwater breathing. Adaptations help organisms thrive in specific habitats.
