canines for tearing flesh. They have strong limbs and sharp claws for catching their prey.
Camivorous birds, such as eagles, have strong, hooked beaks to tear the flesh.
Ominivores: The animals that eat both meat and plants are called omnivores. They
have moderately developed incisors, canines and pre-molars. Bear, dogs, pigs, squirrels
and humans are a few examples of omnivores.

streamlined body to cut through water easily, Fish have two fins to swim and maintain their
balance and a tail fin to change their direction. Frogs have webbed feet to swim or paddle i
water, Turtles have four paddle-like limbs to swim in water. These are called flippers. -_

2, Ear piercing is a personal choice and does in no way effect our body to survive or adapt to a
changed or new climate. Hence, it is not an adaptation.4, Adaptations in Animals
