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.
