WHAT IS ADAPTATION ⏬
☕Adaptation is defined as the process where a species or an organism gradually becomes better acclimated to its environment.”
ADAPTATION IN MOUNTAIN AREAS
➡️In high-altitude environments, the human body signals an increase in the production of red blood cells. This is done to compensate for the relatively low-oxygen content in the air.
➡️But this is not an instantaneous process, hence, people who are not acclimatized to the high altitude environment might feel a shortness of breath.
➡️The mountains have very low temperatures, sometimes below 0degrees. Therefore animals in the mountains are adapted to live in extremely cold weather by :
✨Their body is covered with thick fur to protect them from the cold.
✨They also have a thick layer of fat under the skin for insulation and protection from cold.
✨Mountain goats have strong hooves that help them climb the rocky slopes of the mountains.
✨They have small ears and nose to reduce heat loss from the body.
