A habitat is the type of natural environment in which a particular species of organism lives, their habitat is those places where they can find food, shelter, protection and mates for reproduction. It is characterised by both physical and biological features.

The special characteristics that enable plants and animals to be successful in a particular environment are called adaptations. Adaptations afford the organism a better chance to survive in its surroundings. Camouflage in a toad is an example of adaptation.

Camouflage is defined as an ability of an organism to blend with their surroundings. It is a common example of an adaptation in some animals, where animals disguise themselves according to the surrounding either to hunt other animals or to hide themselves from predators.

The state of being inactive, resembling deep sleep in which certain animals living in cold climates to pass the winter is called hibernation. The animals adapt to the cold climate by hibernating, migrating to warmer areas, or insulting their bodies with layers of fat.
