Adaptations are structures or behaviors by which a species or individual improves its ability to survive in its environment. For example, bats have large ears and aerodynamically shaped noses to allow their high-pitched screeches to reach their ears easily. Zebra’s stripes help them to confuse predators when travelling in large groups. Plants that live in dry environments have a thick layer called a cuticle to help them to retain water. In fact, nearly everything about an organism is an adaptation of one kind or another. Think of a trait that an animal has, and then think of how that trait helps it to survive and reproduce in its environment. Different adaptations are helpful for different environments: the white peppered moth was able to survive easily against the white bark of the tree; however, after the Industrial Revolution, the white coloration of the moth made it more easily seen by predators when against the soot-covered trunks of the trees, and their population began to decline..
