Animal Adaptations and Survival Strategies

The video explains the basic needs of living things: food, water, and air. It describes how animals and plants obtain these essentials through various methods, such as hunting, photosynthesis, and adaptations to their environments. The interdependence between plants and animals is highlighted, showing how they rely on each other for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange.
