Actually the question has things a bit out of order. Adaptive mutations turn out to confer enhanced fitness (for survival) attributes which are passed to offspring. At some point creatures of such lineages become genetically isolated and able to reproduce only among themselves. It is only in that ancestral sense that inherited "adaptive traits" can be called helpful in the present time.
Organisms develops & adapts according to natural environment to survive. This adaptation process is not a single day.month or a years process. It can take many years & centuries.
This adaptation makes Organisms survive in even extreme conditions. Adaptation is not just limited to Physical changes in body structure there can be behavioral changes also.
The good example of adaptation are Chameleons. Some of their developments such as long tongue & expandable tail are examples of their well adaptation.
adaptations help animals survive by helping them get used to the climate and the shelters and food

Adaptations
True
Some of the adaptations they develop through Evolution help them acquire energy.
This is the fundamental premise of the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection; the environment has a fundamental impact on the adaptations and evolution of organisms. The environment "selects" for those specimens that survive to have more offspring. Those animals that cannot survive are selected against.
All organisms have adaptations. Adaptations are simply traits that have evolved to help an organism survive.
Design!
Adaptations help because they help the animal to get food easier, or to find shelter, and help them get the necessities they need to live.
Adaptations like camouflage, body temperature, and smell. An example of an animal that has camouflage is a chameleon.
The answer is in your question - ADAPTING - Meaning they learn how to cope with the climate and surroundings.
It has adaptations that help it survive in its environment
Adaptations.
Adaptations.
Organisms adapt to their new environments to survive and meet the 2 goals of all animal life: Survive and Reproduce So that it is better suited to the enviorment and knows how, and has what it needs to survive.
Adaptations help because they help the animal to get food easier, or to find shelter, and help them get the necessities they need to live.
They start out with adaptations. It is Vital for them to have it, or they won't be able to survive.
Both types of adaptations help organisms to survive long enough to have offspring. Physcial adaptations include body parts and functions that help an animal survive. Behavioral adaptations are things that an animal does that increases its odds of survival, for example, squirrels storing food for the winter.
