they change brown in summer and white in winter, so the predators will think the ermine is snow cause it blends in which means camoflauge
Ermines, or stoats, exhibit several behavioral adaptations that enhance their survival. They are skilled hunters, using stealth and agility to capture small mammals, particularly during winter when their fur changes to white for camouflage in the snow. Additionally, ermines are known to be territorial and will aggressively defend their range from intruders. Their ability to shift their diet based on seasonal availability also allows them to thrive in various environments.
Ermines are members of the animal kingdom.

yes
both
No animal can survive without both. Even having legs is a physical adaptation. If an animal had no behavioral adaptations, it would just sit in one place and die of starvation. So jackrabbits have both physical and behavioral adaptations.
Yes, adaptations can manifest as physical characteristics that enhance an organism's survival and reproduction in a particular environment. These physical traits are typically the result of genetic changes that confer a survival advantage. Complex behaviors can also be adaptations, as they help organisms interact with their environment and increase their fitness. Both physical characteristics and behaviors can be shaped by natural selection.
No they build dens
They're adaptations are their strips because it helps them blend in with their group or pack.
