In an enviroment, an organism can survive in thier habitat due to special traits called adaptations. An adaptation is a trait of an organism that is specialized for survival purposes. One example would be the coat of the white-tailed deer. They are born with a natural coat of light brown with white spots to camofauge themselves into the dirt and sun spots on the ground. This coloring lasts for the first several months of the fawn's life. Once older, the deer are an allover brown with some white remaining in the tail. The males will grow a set of antlers to serve as protection, but also as a mating strategy. These antlers can be used to threaten intruders on thier territory, or to impress members of the opposite gender. Below, there is a link to experiment with different adaptations in different habitats of fish. [|build a fish] (MARE)
