In biology, an adaptation, also called an adaptive trait, is a trait with a current functional role in the life of an organism that is maintained and evolved by means of natural selection. Adaptation refers to both the current state of being adapted and to the dynamic evolutionary process that leads to the adaptation. Adaptations enhance the fitness and survival of individuals. Organisms face a succession of environmental challenges as they grow and develop and are equipped with an adaptive plasticity as the phenotype of traits develop in response to the imposed conditions. The developmental norm of reaction for any given trait is essential to the correction of adaptation as it affords a kind of biological insurance or resilience to varying environments.
Adaptation is, first of all, a process, rather than a part of a body. An internal parasite (such as a liver fluke) can illustrate the distinction: such a parasite may have a very simple bodily structure, but nevertheless the organism is highly adapted to its specific environment. From this we see that adaptation is not just a matter of visible traits: in such parasites critical adaptations take place in the life cycle, which is often quite complex. However, as a practical term, adaptation is often used for the product: those features of a species which result from the process. Many aspects of an animal or plant can be correctly called adaptations, though there are always some features whose function is in doubt. By using the term adaptation for the evolutionary process, and adaptive trait for the bodily part or function (the product), the two senses of the word may be distinguished.
Abęl Makkonen Tesfaye (born 16 February 1990), known professionally by his stage name The Weeknd (pronounced "the weekend"), is a Canadian singer, songwriter and record producer. In late 2010, Tesfaye anonymously uploaded several songs to YouTube under the name "The Weeknd". He released three nine-track mixtapes throughout 2011: House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence, which were critically acclaimed. The following year, he released a compilation album Trilogy, thirty tracks consisting of remastered versions of the mixtape material and three additional songs. It was released under Republic Records and his own label XO.
In 2013, he released his debut studio album Kiss Land, which was supported by the singles "Kiss Land" and "Live For". His second album, Beauty Behind the Madness, which became his first number one album on the Billboard 200, included the top-five single "Earned It" and produced the number-one singles "The Hills" and "Can't Feel My Face". The songs have simultaneously held the top three spots on the Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart, making him the first artist in history to achieve this.

This is the Adaptation song with the camel rapping. Lots of schools play this for science. I couldn't get hold of the lyrics anywhere, so my friend/long-lost sister Allison listened to the song and paused every few seconds to write it down. LETS HEAR IT FOR ALLISON!!

Director Spike Jonze delivers a stunningly original comedy that seamlessly blends fictional characters and situations with the lives of real people: obsessive orchid hunter John Laroche (Cooper), New Yorker journalist Susan Orlean (Streep), Hollywood screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (Cage), and his twin brother, Donald (also Cage). As Charlie struggles to adapt Orlean's best-selling book "The Orchid Thief," he writes himself into his own movie. The various stories crash into one another exploding into a wildly imaginative film. http://www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/catalog/catalogDetail_DVD043396076013.html

http://www.makemegenius.com - a science website for kids. Few places are very cold and few places are very hot.Few places have lot of water but many places are very dry .But we find animals at every place, the animals living in different places have special features which help them to survive in these kinds of places.These special features in animals,which help them to survive in their habitats are called adaptations. In this short animated video,we touch upon adaptations in desert animals,polar animals ,arboreal and terrestrial animals.
Adaptations Children look similar to parents because physical traits are inherited. Other traits like behaviors can be passed from parent to offspring. Cats instinctively know how to hunt thanks to their parents. In fact all organisms pass traits and behaviors onto their offspring. A trait or behavior that helps an organism survive in its environment is called an adaptation. A chameleon has several inherited traits or adaptations that help it to survive. Chameleons are capable of changing color. The color changes help the animal to camouflage itself when predators are near. Another adaptation on the chameleon is their eyes. The eyes of a chameleon work independently and can see 360 degrees around. The eyes help the animal to see in all directions without moving its head to...

“Adaptation”
Adaptation the process
Environments changing
I’m looking for the foothold
I never quite found it
Food stamps catering your wedding
Wal-Mart stylist
Aiding and abetting
With the riot police in the streets patrolling
The kids in strollers but the tanks keep pressing on through
My eyes never ever blink twice
They open and they close from the morning to the night
And yes you can pay with plastic
But you keep your money in the bank
Your a pawn big brother no thanks
Always vicious and suspicious here
Watch a numb hand shake another
It is business as usual in here
Drop bombs on the dark skinned people
You can claim to be a Christian but the killing is offensive
Sinning and winning right to the top
Zoloft and Paxil and Prozax but still no pot
What kind of legislation is that?
Response
My brain can’t function
Diluted
I’m already past the negative assumptions
The consequences never arrive late
They alter the mind state
Driving the man into madness
One foot falls as one foot catches it
One sin exits as one sin enters it
The cycle is intoxicating it’s not worth debating
Why cut me short there’s so much more to be said
Like was the missing link really ever missing?
Is there really any truth with paranoid suspicion?
Always vicious and suspicious here
Watch a numb hand shake another
