Question

identify each adaptation as structural or behavioral adaptations. monkeys have a prehensile tail that allows them to grab and hold onto tree branches. moose make mating calls to locate potential mates. whales are covered in a thick layer of blubber, insulating their bodies in cold ocean waters. humans have five toes on each foot to help them maintain balance. many birds migrate south for the winter in search of food.

Structural adaptations are physical, anatomical features of an organism. Behavioral adaptations are actions or patterns of behavior an organism uses to survive or reproduce.

1. A prehensile tail is a physical body part.
2. Mating calls are a specific action/behavior.
3. Blubber is a physical bodily tissue layer.
4. Five toes are a physical anatomical feature.
5. Migration is a seasonal behavioral pattern.

• Whales are covered in a thick layer of blubber, insulating their bodies in cold ocean waters.: structural
• Humans have five toes on each foot to help them maintain balance.: structural
