One of the kowari's physical adaptations is the scent gland, by which it leaves urine and scats to mark its home territory. It is a dasyurid, or carnivorous marsupial, so despite its tiny size it has very sharp teeth for attacking and eating prey such as insects, reptiles, birds and other small mammals. Its colouring is light yellow to rufous, which is perfect for camouflaging in its arid, desert environment or semi-arid grasslands.

No animal can survive without both. Even having legs is a physical adaptation. If an animal had no behavioral adaptations, it would just sit in one place and die of starvation. So jackrabbits have both physical and behavioral adaptations.
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.
