Survival mechanisms are biological processes that help organisms adapt to their environment and increase their chances of survival. These mechanisms can include physical adaptations, such as camouflage or the ability to regulate body temperature, as well as behavioral adaptations, like migration or hibernation. In addition to these adaptations, survival mechanisms can also involve social behaviors, such as forming groups for protection or cooperation in hunting. These strategies are essential for species like wolves or ants, which rely on teamwork to thrive in their habitats. Understanding these mechanisms helps scientists study how species evolve and respond to environmental changes.
