Adaptation - Tools for Survival: Land Animals

Animals must have food and the ability to reproduce in order to survive. These processes occur in the environment in which they have evolved and to which they have adapted. The process of adaptation takes millions of years and those species that are successful have developed both physical and behavioral tools that allow them to survive harmoniously with their environment and its inhabitants. In this program we observe a variety of land animals and the survival tools they have developed, such as camouflage, communication skills, associations, shells and armors, attack and timely flight.
