All organisms have adaptations that help them survive and thrive. Some adaptations are structural. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism like the bill on a bird or the fur on a bear. Other adaptations are behavioral. Behavioral adaptations are the things organisms do to survive. For example, bird calls and migration are behavioral adaptations. Adaptations are the result of evolution. Evolution is a change in a species over long periods of time. Adaptations usually occur because a gene mutates or changes by accident! Some mutations can help an animal or plant survive better than others in the species without the mutation. For example, imagine a bird species.
It is up to the individual to decide what they think is a significat change. Obviously a new species is huge change, but on the cellular level, evolution can happen in a matter of hours. The rate of evolution depends on how harsh the environment is and how necessary change is for survival.Physical adaptations take thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years.volution can happen VERY fast.... study darwin's finches/// i saw a documentary of them and how a woman and her husband visit the galapagos islands every somethin amount of years(sorry i forgot :c) and the evolution of 13 species happened in the duration of their 1st visit and their 2nd.
