All organisms have adaptations that help them survive and thrive. Some adaptations are structural. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism like the bill on a bird or the fur on a bear. Other adaptations are behavioral. Behavioral adaptations are the things organisms do to survive. For example, bird calls and migration are behavioral adaptations. Adaptations are the result of evolution. Evolution is a change in a species over long periods of time. Adaptations usually occur because a gene mutates or changes by accident! Some mutations can help an animal or plant survive better than others in the species without the mutation. For example, imagine a bird species.
Making the world better, one answer at a time. Adaptation occurs because animals need to be able to eat and survive in their environment. Finches beaks adapted based on the food source in their environment for example.t can  also refer to a physical or genetic trai â¦ t that helps an organism to  be better suited to survive in their environment.    For example, polar bears are adapted to living in the cold because  they grow thick fur that keeps them warm, and thus allows them to  survive in their frigid environment.
