Physiological Adaptations

Physiological Adaptations, these are changes to an animal's internal body functions. 

Examples:

  • A camel's ability to conserve water in a desert
  • A skunk's ability to spray a foul-smelling liquid for defence.
  • Venom in snakes to stop prey.
  • Kangaroos lick their forearms, and the resulting evaporation of saliva helps to cool their bodies.
