Biology - Adaptation And Evolution - Learning Points. Organisms survive harsh environments by physical and behavioral adaptation. The camel's sandy-colored fur acts like camouflage and reflects the Sun's heat, and its hump stores energy as fat. The large ears of the fennec fox radiate heat away from the body and channel breezes. The kangaroo rat has adapted its behavior, becoming nocturnal to survive the heat. A Twig Context Film. Reinforce and extend the learning required by the curriculum. Twig’s context films show abstract concepts in action in the real world.\n
