Best Answer

Adaptations occur for various reasons. Random mutations occur naturally and when those mutations are beneficial for staying alive, those traits are more likely to be passed down to future generations. An animal that is able to process meat as well as fruits and vegetables will be more likely to survive, should there be a shortage of one type of food and therefor will be more likely to pass down its genetics.
