Animal Adaptations to Extreme Environments

This document discusses various adaptations that allow organisms to survive in different environments. It provides examples of how penguins have adapted to survive in freezing cold climates through having insulating layers of fat and feathers. Fennec foxes are described as having sandy colored fur as an adaptation to help them hide in desert landscapes. Lizards are said to have colorful scales that make them hard to see among rocks through camouflage. Adaptation is characterized as traits that allow organisms to change over generations to survive and reproduce in their ecosystem.
