(Unseen)
Living things adapt to their environment so they can survive. An organism adapts when it develops a
behaviour that makes it more likely to survive. It can also adapt by forming a physical characteristic or
body part that helps it survive. In a forest, some trees grow taller than the other plants around them.
This lets reach the sunlight. Growing taller is an adaptation that helps trees to survive. Shorter plants
have adapted with their behaviour. They have learned to live in the shade with less sunlight.
Animals in the forest have a wide variety of adaptations. Monkeys have long tails. They can use them
almost like another land. This helps them swing quickly through the tops of the trees. They can even do
this while holding their babies or gathering food. Giraffes need to reach leaves at the tops of the tall
trees. Having a long neck is an adaptation that allows them to do this. Some animals' adaptation prevent
other animals from wanting to eat them. A skunk's horrible smell makes larger animals choose
something else to eat. Even plants sometimes protect themselves in this way. Roses and acacia trees
both have dangerous thorns. The thorns prevent animals from eating their leaves.
