This KS2 Science quiz takes a look at adaptation - the process by which animals, plants and other living things have changed so that they better suit their habitat.
Adaptation is the adjustment of animals and plants to their environment. Have you ever wondered why a giraffe has such a long neck, or why sharks have so many rows of teeth (and always have new teeth ready to replace any that fall out)? Why a cactus is spiky and a sloth rarely moves? The amazing characteristics shown by different animal and plant species are explained by adaptation. All of these organisms have changed to suit their habitat.
See how much you know about how plants and animals are suited to their habitats by trying this adaptation quiz.
