defensive adaptations
Defensive adaptations refer to a range of physiological and behavioral traits or mechanisms that an organism can develop in response to environmental pressures or threats to increase its chances of survival. These adaptations can include physical features such as armor, camouflage, and defensive structures, as well as behavioral responses such as evasion, intimidation, and mimicry. Overall, defensive adaptations serve to reduce an organism's vulnerability to predators, extreme temperatures, or other harsh conditions.
