What is an example to contrast a behavioral adaptation to a physical adaptation?

Sometimes organisms will have both behavioural and physical ways of adapting to environmental challenges, an example I can think of is if organisms get too hot, they have many different ways of cooling down. For example if humans get too hot, our physical adaptation is that we have pores in the skin and glands beneath the skin that produce sweat, dogs pant, birds open their mouths and evaporate the water in the moist lining of their throat (a method called "gular fluttering) A behavioral adaptation would be seeking out shade, or resting during the hottest part of the day.


What are the three types of adaptation?

Adaptation is a process where a population becomes better suited to survive in it's environment. The three types of adaption are as follows: Morphological Adaptation: The actual structure of an animal's body parts that adapts to its environment. For example, birds have certain beaks that allow them to adapt to the types of foods they eat. Behavioral Adaptation: This can be passed along through genetics. Good examples are birds flying south for winter or squirrels nesting. Physiological Adaptation: This describes how the body works and adapts. For example, it could be that cows have specific digestive procedures to help digest the grass and food they eat. A change in the animal's diet can lead to a physiological adaptation.


How are physical and behavioral adaptations helpful to animals?

Behavioral adaptations are what living things do to survive. Behavioral adaptation is important because it helps living things survive their situation, it also helps to teach younger generations to do the same.
