Animal Adaptations Websites and Games

Here are some links to animal adaptations interactives and websites. As you work through the links, remember to think about these questions:

-How can an animal's body covering help it to survive?
-How can an animal's color help it to survive?
-How can an animal's behavior help it to survive?

Animal Adaptations Game: Choose the correct adaptations for each animal. Can you make the right choices before time runs out?

Hidden Animal Games: Check out some clever camouflage with these games. (Be careful, as there are ads on this site.)

Colour and Camouflage: This site allows you to try out different patterns of shading to hide an animal. (From the BBC...can you notice the spelling differences?)
