Question

animal adaptation sort
an adaptation is:
physical adaptation \t behavioral adaptation
color of fur \t school
speed \t hibernation
claws \t migration
webbed feet \t camouflage
spider web \t mimicry

Explanation:

To solve the task of sorting animal adaptations into physical and behavioral, we first recall the definitions:

• Physical Adaptation: Structural or physical traits of an organism (body parts, color, shape, etc.).
• Behavioral Adaptation: Actions or behaviors an organism does (instincts, social behaviors, survival actions).

Step 1: Identify Physical Adaptations

These are traits related to the organism’s body:

• Color of fur (body color)
• Speed (relates to body structure/physiology for movement)
• Claws (body part)
• Webbed feet (body part)
• Spider web (product of a physical body structure, made by the spider)
• Camouflage (body color/pattern)
• Mimicry (body color/pattern to resemble others)

Step 2: Identify Behavioral Adaptations

These are actions the organism performs:

• School (social behavior, moving in groups)
• Hibernation (behavior to survive cold/seasons)
• Migration (behavior to move for survival)

Correct Sorting:

Physical Adaptation	Behavioral Adaptation
speed	hibernation
claws	migration
webbed feet	(no others here)
spider web
camouflage
mimicry

(Note: Some items like “camouflage” and “mimicry” can be confusing, but they are physical (body color/pattern) unless referring to a behavioral mimicry (rare). Here, they are physical. “Spider web” is a physical structure made by the spider’s body.)
