Defense adaptations include changing size or shape, camouflage, protective coverings, and group living. Designed to develop nonfiction literacy skills, this standards-aligned text includes glossary, index, table of contents, readers' guide, culminating activities, and additional resources.

The key concepts of physical and behavioral adaptation are explained through discussion of great white sharks' camouflage, giraffes' long tongues, whales' migration, and more. A discussion of the challenges associated with changing environments is also included, along with a hands-on project to investigate environmental adaptation.

A harmless animal can frighten predators away by appearing dangerous. A dangerous animal can lure prey by appearing harmless. Both predator and prey can blend in with their surroundings to avoid detection. This book explores the adaptations of appearance that allow animals to be successful at hunting or hiding.

Whether to avoid predators, to stalk prey, or to withstand extreme temperatures, Earth's creatures have some "outrageous" adaptations for survival. This book highlights some of the most amazing: a fish that walks on land, a vampire squid, a frog that makes its own sunscreen, a spider with giant jaws. These and other creatures show evolution and adaptation at work. Full taxonomic classifications for each animal are given, along with side notes, photos, diagrams and suggestions for further study.
