Every animal has certain adaptations, but it all depends on where they live. For example an animal that lives in the tundra has thick fur to keep themselves warm, and small ears to trap heat, while an animal that lives in the desert can have large ears to radiate heat etc.
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.

Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism like the bill on a bird or the fur on a bear. Other adaptations are behavioral. Behavioral adaptations are the things organisms do to survive. For example, bird calls and migration are behavioral adaptations.
Adaptations usually occur because a gene mutates or changes by accident! Some mutations can help an animal or plant survive better than others in the species without the mutation.
For example, imagine a bird species. One day a bird is born with a beak that is longer than the beak of other birds in the species. The longer beak helps the bird catch more food. Because the bird can catch more food, it is healthier than the other birds, lives longer and breeds more. The bird passes the gene for a longer beak on to its offspring. They also live longer and have more offspring and the gene continues to be inherited generation after generation.
Eventually the longer beak can be found in all of the species. This doesn't happen overnight. It takes thousands of years for a mutation to be found in an entire species.
Animals have adapted to changes in the environment in extraordinary ways. Take for example the Venus Flytrap. Due to nutrient poor soil, they adapted to capture and secrete a digestive fluid that consumes caught insects.

It can snuggle in with other plants to stay warm
Plants are the main producers and have numerous structural and behavioral adaptations to aid photosynthesis. One of the structural adaptations is that they have a large surface area to absorb sunlight required for photosynthesis.
The structural adaptations you would notice on a cactus are the spines on it. The spines are there so they don't loose water.

Yes, these are called "Structural Adaptations". How an animal acts is part of its "Behavioral Adaptations".
nope there called behavioural adaptations. there are 3 kinds of adaptations: structural behavioural physiological

Structural adaptations are adaptations to the body.These can include:Tough, waterproof shell,OperculumGillsRadula (for feeding)There are a lot more but these are a few
The cactus has a number of structural adaptations that allow it to live in the harsh conditions of the desert. Many other plants lack these adaptations and cannot survive in a desert.

Yes.
A person who studies nuts is known as a botanist. Botanists are experts who mainly study plants and their structural adaptations.
