Adaptations are essential characteristics that enable animals and plants to survive in their environments. Animals utilize various strategies, such as camouflage to blend into their habitats, migration to escape harsh conditions, and hibernation for winter survival. Additionally, some species estivate to keep their skin moist during summer's heat. In plants, dormancy is a vital adaptation, exemplified by the Dogwood tree, Virginia's state tree, which loses its leaves and enters dormancy in fall and winter. Explore the fascinating ways life adapts to thrive!
