What is adaptation?

Adaptation is the process by which living organisms develop features or behaviors that help them survive and reproduce in their environment.

These adaptations may be structural, behavioral, or physiological and occur over many generations through evolution and natural selection.

For example, camels have long legs and humps that help them survive in deserts, while polar bears have thick fur to live in cold regions.

Adaptations increase the chances of survival by helping organisms obtain food, protect themselves from predators, and adjust to environmental conditions.

This process is important for the continuity and survival of species in changing environments.
