Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm interested in learning about adaptation to extreme environments. Can you give me some examples?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Sure, adaptation to extreme environments is when living things change to survive in very harsh conditions. For example, camels have wide feet to walk on sand in the desert, and penguins have thick feathers to stay warm in Antarctica.<|im_end|>

That's really cool. Are there any other examples of adaptations that help animals survive in extreme heat?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, another example is the desert tortoise. It can store water in its body and stay underground during the hottest part of the day to avoid the heat.<|im_end|>
