A structural adaptation is when an animal or a living thing is adapted to its environment by the way its body is built or shaped. Structural adaptations involve physical traits that can help an organism to survive in its environment. They can be its body shape, body parts, outer covering, colour or unusual life processes. For example, the frog has webbed feet to help it to escape from its predators quickly and catch its prey faster.

Behavioural adaptations are different from structural adaptations, and mean the way that an organism behaves which helps it to survive in its environment. For example, lizard hid under rocks to avoid gaining too much heat from the sun and survive in deserts.
