This porcupine's spines are a structural adaptation that protects it from predators.

This snakes venom is a physiological adaptation. [image:http://i.imgur.com/Dsz7eX6.png?1] '''Behavioural Adaptations:''' This is the way members of a species act on order to survive. To look out for predators, one or more meerkats stand watch. When a predator is spotted, they give a loud whistle or bark to warn the others of approaching dangers.
