Fun Fact File: Animal Adaptations

The beak differences between a pelican and a cardinal are very clear. A pelican’s has a pouch on the lower part of the bill that is perfect to hold water when scooping up fish. A cardinal’s beak is short and thick, made for cracking open nuts and seeds. How these beaks evolved over time is an adaptation to the birds’ environment and diet! Many other types of animals—such as mammals, reptiles, and amphibians—also have fascinating adaptations that help them find food, eat, and hide. The main content introduces readers to science curriculum concepts, including why certain adaptations develop and how they differ from other animal species.
