Adaptation is a process where a population becomes better suited to survive in it's environment. The three types of adaption are as follows:
Morphological Adaptation: The actual structure of an animal's body parts that adapts to its environment. For example, birds have certain beaks that allow them to adapt to the types of foods they eat.
Behavioral Adaptation: This can be passed along through genetics. Good examples are birds flying south for winter or squirrels nesting.
Physiological Adaptation: This describes how the body works and adapts. For example, it could be that cows have specific digestive procedures to help digest the grass and food they eat. A change in the animal's diet can lead to a physiological adaptation.
