What is an example to contrast a behavioral adaptation to a physical adaptation?
Sometimes organisms will have both behavioural and physical ways of adapting to environmental challenges, an example I can think of is if organisms get too hot, they have many different ways of cooling down. For example if humans get too hot, our physical adaptation is that we have pores in the skin and glands beneath the skin that produce sweat, dogs pant, birds open their mouths and evaporate the water in the moist lining of their throat (a method called "gular fluttering) A behavioral adaptation would be seeking out shade, or resting during the hottest part of the day.

Good examples are birds flying south for winter or squirrels nesting. Physiological Adaptation: This describes how the body works and adapts. For example, it could be that cows have specific digestive procedures to help digest the grass and food they eat. A change in the animal's diet can lead to a physiological adaptation.
