An example of a physical adaptation is the bill of a platypus. The platypus's bill has sensitive electroreceptors which pick up tiny nerve and electrical impulses generated by crustaceans and other animals that inhabit the bottom of the creek or river. The platypus then uses its bill to shovel away the dirt, and find the food. It does not have teeth, but hard bony plates which it uses to grind the food.

What are physical and behavior adaptations?

Physical adaptations are changes to a species' bodies or physiology that improve survivability. Behavioral adaptations are changes to the way animals act that benefit them. For example, some lizards develop thicker skin (physical adaptation), while on hot sand, some lizards will hop/skip alternate pairs of feet to keep them cool (behavioral adaptation).

Can adaptations be physical characteristics but not more complex feautures such as behavior?

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.
