What is the meaning of physical adaptation?

A "Physical Adaptation" is when the body of the animal changes in response to a change in its environment or is circumstances within its environment - a new competitor for food or and new food source or a new predator. This is obviously different from a "Behavioral Adaptation" were the animal changes the way it dose things because of changes mentioned above. Physical adaptation usually come with associated behavioural adaptations, but behavioural adaptations can develop in isolation. Two animals of the same species can look identical but exhibit different behaviours because they live in slightly different environments.

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.
