Survival Strategies in Nature: Adaptations of the Gerenuk, Polar Bears, and Venus Flytrap

The video explores the concept of adaptations in various organisms. It begins with the garanuk, an African antelope, which uses its flexible hip joints and bendy tongue to feed on high acacia branches. The video then shifts to polar bears, highlighting their thick fur, small ears, and specialized foot pads that help them survive in the Arctic. Finally, it discusses plant adaptations, using the Venus flytrap as an example of how plants can obtain nutrients in poor soil conditions.
