Detailed explanation-1: -Structural adaptations are how the animal’s body functions or looks on the outside. Body parts (like feet and ears) and body coverings (like fur and scales) are structural adaptations. Blanding’s Turtles and other species of turtles have a structural adaptation that is very easy to see-their shells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The shape of a beak, the type of feet, the placement of eyes, the presence of whiskers, the shape of the nose or ears, and the sharpness of teeth are all examples of structural adaptations which help different animals to survive.

Detailed explanation-3: -The shape of a bird’s beak, the color of a mammal’s fur, the thickness or thinness of the fur, the shape of the nose or ears are all examples of physical adaptations which help different animals survive.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are many examples of physiological adaptation. Some have been discussed below: Venomous animals produce poison to catch their prey, to protect themselves or to ward off predators. The thick skin and fur help and protect animals from extreme cold and prevent heat loss from their body.
