An ADAPTATION is a characteristic which helps an organism to survive in its environment. These adaptations are determined by different environmental factors depending on the type of ecosystem:

• The most important adaptations to the terrestrial environment are to light, temperature and humidity.
• • The most important adaptations to the aquatic environment are to light, dissolved O², salt concentration, density and pressure.

Look through the gallery below and notice the adaptations:

	A dromedary camel with its very long eyelashes, and nostrils that can open and close.		A giraffe reaching leaves way up in the tree.
	The fennec fox’s long ears.		Black circles around a meerkat’s eyes.
	A jackrabbit’s long ears and powerful hind legs that help it move very quickly.		A lioness’s sandy-coloured fur and long, rough tongue.
	Emperor penguins huddling together to keep warm.		A stingray that’s buried itself in the ocean floor.
	This wood frog’s skin looks a lot like the branch it's sitting on.		Clownfish in anemone tentacles.
	A porcupine and its quills.		A sea urchin’s spiky shell.
	You can barely see the snowy owl in the snow… and behind all its feathers.		A tapir swimming with its long nose held up out of the water.
	This cactus displays several desert adaptations: it has spines rather than leaves and it stores water in its stem.		Drip-tips on leaves help shed excess water.
	Soft stems enable prairie grasses to bend in the wind. Narrow leaves minimize water loss.		Broad leaves can capture a lot of sunlight for a tree.
