ANIMAL
DIVERSITY
AND
ADAPTATION
Organ
Systems
of
Vertebrates
Animals
have
organ
systems
just
like
you
do!
Here
are
some
examples
of
the
systems
that
animals
and
humans
have
in
common:
Integumentary
system
-
Integumentary
is
just
a
fancy
word
for
skin!
Animals
do
not
have
skin
quite
like
humans
do.
Instead
they
have
tougher
skin,
feathers,
fur,
or
scales.
This
outer
coat
helps
protect
the
animal’s
insides
and
keeps
the
animal
protected
from
weather
and
environmental
conditions,
such
as
very
cold
temperatures
or
very
dry
air.
Muscular
system
-
The
muscular
system
allows
animals
to
move!
Animals
can
control
their
movement
to
do
the
things
they
need
to
do
to
survive
–
like
find
food,
hide
from
predators,
chew
their
food,
and
find
shelter.
Animals,
just
like
you,
have
voluntary
and
involuntary
muscles.
Endocrine
system
-
The
endocrine
system
of
an
animal
is
made
up
of
glands
that
each
serve
a
different
purpose.
Each
gland
in
an
animal
controls
different
body
functions.
Nervous
system
-
The
nervous
system
of
an
animal
sends
signals
from
the
animal’s
brain
to
the
animal’s
body….and
allows
the
animal
to
feel
hot
and
cold
as
well.
Circulatory
system
-
The
circulatory
system
of
an
animal
keeps
the
blood
moving
throughout
an
animal's
body.
Animals
have
veins,
capillaries,
and
arteries
just
like
you!
Respiratory
system
-
The
respiratory
system
allows
animals
to
take
in
oxygen
(which
they
need
to
survive)
and
breath
out
carbon
dioxide.
Digestive
system
-
The
digestive
system
breaks
down
the
food
animals
eat
so
that
animals
can
break
their
food
down
into
energy!
Animals
need
energy
to
move
around
and
carry
out
their
life
processes.
Excretory
System
–
This
system
allows
animals
to
rid
their
body
of
waste.

Reproductive
system
–
This
is
an
easy
to
figure
out…it
enables
animals
to
produce
offspring.
Immune
system
-
The
immune
system
protects
animals
against
sicknesses,
infections,
and
diseases.
Skeletal
System
-
The
skeletal
system
consists
of
the
bones
and
cartilage
that
supports
an
animal’s
body
parts.
Lesson
Checkpoint:
What
is
one
organ
system
you
have
in
common
with
an
animal
and
what
is
the
function
of
that
system?
Animals
Can
Move
Animals
have
the
ability
to
move
from
place
to
place
in
their
environments;
plants
do
not
have
this
ability.
Some
animals
can
move
quite
fast
in
order
to
escape
predators.
Animals
can
move
certain
body
parts
in
order
to
protect
themselves
–
such
as
their
strong
jaws,
sharp
claws,
and
even
horns
upon
their
heads.

Animal
Adaptations
Adaptations
are
traits
that
animals
have
that
help
them
survive
in
their
environments.
Adaptations
can
be
physical
or
behavioral.
Examples
of
a
physical
trait
are
the
thickness
of
an
animal’s
fur
in
the
winter
(which
helps
the
animal
survive
cold
winters),
the
shape
of
a
bird’s
beak
(which
helps
them
get
food
and
build
nests),
and
even
the
shape
of
an
animal’s
ears
(bats
have
large
ears
to
hear
well
since
they
rely
on
their
hearing
to
fly).
Animals
depend
on
their
physical
features
to
help
them
find
and
eat
food,
to
build
shelters,
to
attract
mates,
and
to
protect
themselves.
Behavior
adaptations
are
activities
that
animals
DO,
which
help
them
survive
in
their
environment.
Behavior
adaptations
can
be
learned
from
a
parent
or
other
animals
or
they
can
be
inherited
(a
behavior
they
are
born
with).
An
example
of
a
behavior
adaptation
is
how
an
opossum
plays
dead
when
a
predator
is
near
by
or
how
many
animals
move
in
large
groups
–
there
is
safety
in
numbers!
Lesson
Checkpoint:
What
is
an
adaptation?
Animals
use
their
adaptations
for
many
reasons,
such
as
to
protect
themselves
and
to
find
food.
Mimicry
is
an
adaptation
that
allows
an
animal
to
look
or
act
like
a
stronger
(scarier)
animal.
This
adaptation
makes
an
animal’s
predators
think
it
is
poisonous
or
dangerous
when
it
is
really
not.
Camouflage
is
another
adaptation.
It
allows
animals
to
blend
in
with
their
surroundings.
Animals
use
this
adaptation
to
hide
from
predators
and
to
sneak
up
on
their
prey!
Migration
is
when
animals
move
from
one
area
to
another
for
a
certain
period
of
time
or
season.
Animals
migrate
in
order
to
get
to
a
place
where
the
temperature
allows
for
the
animal
to
survive
and
find
food.
Hibernation
is
also
an
adaptation!
When
an
animal
goes
into
a
deep
sleep,
it
is
hibernating.
During
this
time
the
animal’s
body
temperature
drops
significantly.
The
animal’s
breathing
and
heartbeat
slow
down.

What
is
THAT
animal?
It
is
a
tigon,
which
is
a
cross-breed
between
a
tiger
and
a
lion.
Crossbreeding
is
when
two
animals
(or
plants)
of
different
breeds
and
species
reproduce
and
create
an
offspring.
Cross-breeding
does
not
happen
in
wild,
it
only
occurs
with
human
intervention.
Hybrids
are
the
animals
that
are
produced
as
a
result
of
cross-
breeding.
A
mule
is
a
hybrid.
It
is
a
cross-breed
of
a
donkey
and
a
horse.

Animal
Diversity
Millions
of
different
animal
species
live
on
the
Earth
today!
Animals
range
in
size
from
teeny
tiny
to
huge!
Some
animals
are
unicellular
while
others
are
multicellular.
Some
animals
have
backbones
while
others
do
not!
There
are
so
many
animals
to
study,
observe,
and
discover!
See
if
you
can
discover
an
animal
you
have
NEVER
heard
of
before.
Do
some
research
at
your
library
or
on
the
Internet!
