Animal Adaptations and Survival Strategies

The video, led by Trey Suskie, explores how adaptations help living things survive. It defines adaptations as changes that make species better suited to their environments. Examples include webbed feet in otters and ducks, long snouts in anteaters, and armor in turtles. The video also discusses climate adaptations like blubber in seals and water storage in camels. Students are encouraged to think of more adaptations with adult help.
