Animal and Plant Adaptations

The video discusses adaptations in different habitats, focusing on terrestrial and aquatic environments. Terrestrial habitats include desert, mountain, and grassland, each with unique adaptations for plants and animals. Desert plants like cacti have features to conserve water, while animals like camels have adaptations to survive harsh conditions. Mountain habitats are cold, with plants like pine having needle-like leaves, and animals like bears having thick fur. Grassland plants have strong roots, and predators like lions have sharp claws. Aquatic habitats feature streamlined fish and plants with waxy leaves to prevent decay.
