  4. Camouflage • Camouflage is a physical adaptation of an animal’s body in color and/or shape so that the animal blends into its surroundings and is hard to see. • These animals are less likely to get caught. http://www.exzooberance.com/virtual%20zoo/they%20swim/harp%20seal/Harp%20Seal%20485028.jpg

  5. Hibernation • Hibernation is an animal behavior in which the animal slows down its bodily functions and becomes dormant, which is like a sleeping state. http://www.topnews.in/files/Mini-hibernation.jpg

  6. Migration • Migration is an animal behavior in which the animal travels from one place to another, usually for better food supplies but also for reproduction and/or safety. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://audubonoffloridanews.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/bird-migration.jpg&imgrefurl=http://audubonoffloridanews.org/%3Fp%3D3314&usg=__1FBRkwSMmOe6eJaqOA84-OVp30A=&h=288&w=523&sz=17&hl=en&start=1&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=fFBGE_vuwrECHM:&tbnh=72&tbnw=131&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dbird%2Bmigration%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DX%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26ndsp%3D20%26tbs%3Disch:1
