Description

I found a small blackish turtle near the pond. The turtle's hard shell is used to adapt to any situation such as large predators that they may come in contact with. This would be called structural adaptation due to its body structure. They usually migrate to the coast lines to reproduce this is behavioral adaptation.

This picture is another example of physical/environmental adaptation because just like the brick and grass and the moss, the grass had to adapt to the placement of the fence to survive.

Description

Adaptations are needed for survival in the world. This palm tree adapted to have it's seeds out high so they can be eaten and moved to other places. Another adaptation is that the seeds fall off easy so things like squirrels will take them off the ground. This adaptation allows for a higher chance of reproductive success.
