Animal Adaptations and Life Cycles

The video explains how animals adapt to their environments through behavioral, physical, and life-cycle adaptations. Behavioral adaptations include migration and hibernation, while physical adaptations involve traits like camouflage and specialized body parts. Life-cycle adaptations cover changes from birth to adulthood, such as in frogs and butterflies. These adaptations are crucial for survival and thriving in various habitats.
