Answer:
An adaptation is a modification or change in the organism's body or behaviour that helps it to survive
All living things need food to grow and to live. Animals are living things. They too need energy to move around and work. Food gives them all the energy they need.
- Birds do not have teeth. They swallow their food whole. Lizards and snakes have very small teeth.
- These teeth are not useful for chewing. They only help in grabbing the food. So, snakes and lizards swallow their food whole.
- Carnivores like lions and tigers tear and chew the flesh of animals. They have sharp, pointed and curved front teeth to tear the flesh.
- Herbivores like deer and giraffe eat grass and leaves. They have broad, flat and sharp front teeth to cut their food.
- Cows and buffaloes bite the grass and swallow it. Later, they bring back the food into their mouth and chew it slowly.
- Butter flies and mosquitoes have a feeding tube in place of mouth. This tube is called proboscis. It works like a straw. A butterfly uses the proboscis to suck liquids like nectar from flowers. A mosquito uses it to suck blood.
