Detailed explanation-1: -Camouflage in animals can be reckoned as a structural adaptation as it allows it some changes in its external body to survive better in the environment around them. It helps them not to get detected by their predators and also as an aid in their hunting for prey.

Detailed explanation-2: -Camouflage, mimicry, and animals’ body parts and coverings are physical adaptations. The way in which an animal behaves is an adaptation, too-a behavioral adaptation .

Detailed explanation-3: -Camouflage can change with the environment. Many animals, such as the arctic fox, change their camouflage with the seasons. Octopuses camouflage themselves in response to a threat. Other species, such as nudibranchs-brightly colored, soft-bodied ocean “slugs”-can change their skin coloration by changing their diet.

Detailed explanation-4: -An example of a structural adaptation is the way some plants have adapted to life in dry, hot deserts. Plants called succulents have adapted to this climate by storing water in their short, thick stems and leaves.
