If an animal is not well adapted or fit for its environment, it may struggle to find food, evade predators, or reproduce effectively. This can lead to increased mortality rates and reduced population sizes over time. Ultimately, those individuals may not survive long enough to pass on their genes, leading to a gradual decline in the species' overall fitness within that habitat. In extreme cases, poor adaptation can result in extinction.
