There are three types of adaptations: structural, physiological, and behavioral. Structural adaptations are how the animal's body functions or looks on the outside. Body parts (like feet and ears) and body coverings (like fur and scales) are structural adaptations.

What is Adaptation?
An adaptation is a special skill that helps organisms to survive in their environments. Adaptations could be PHYSICAL, PHYSIOLOGICAL, or BEHAVIORAL. All living things (including humans) on this planet have adaptations.
Adaptations are influenced by environmental factors, including climate and food availability. Animals have needs like food, water, shelter, and breeding. To meet those needs, animals adapt to their environment.
Types of Adaptation
1. Physical Adaptation
Physical adaptations are special body parts, such as shapes, skin, and color, that help the organisms to survive in their natural habitat.
Examples of physical adaptations – the thickness of an animal’s fur helps them to survive in cold environments. The shape of a bird’s beak helps them to eat food as well as make nests. Camel’s long leg, eyelids, hump are all examples of adaptation.

Animals depend on their physical structure to help them find and eat food, to build shelters, to protect from predators, and to reproduce.
