adaptation
Adult elephants are large, and therefore they need no protection. Their size prevents any animal attacking them. When an elephant is weak, sick, or a child and is in danger of being attacked because of their vunerability, the elephant will be in the middle of the parade(or herd) of elephants. Then any animal will not be able to get to the vunerable elephant.
Elephants protect themselves by living in groups that provide safety in numbers, using their size and strength as a deterrent to predators, and displaying defensive behaviors like trumpeting, charging, and using their tusks. They also rely on their intelligence and strong social bonds to communicate and coordinate to ward off threats.
The female platypus has no special features to protect itself from predators. The male, however, has a venonous spur on its hind leg. This spur is capable of injecting a powerful venom that causes agonising, paralysing pain to larger animals, and kills small animals.
