Adaptation Quizzes & Trivia

Adaptation is a crucial trait in Charles Darwin’s so-called ‘survival of the fittest’ theory – whereby animals evolve and change in order to fit the demands or the challenges of their chosen environment. Adaptation is an evolutionary process which sees organisms become better suited to a certain habitat. Consider yourself something of a Charles Darwin yourself? But just how much do you know about adaptation?

Did you know that non-toxic butterflies have developed patterns to help them look more like their poisonous cousins? Did you know also know that frogs have adapted to freezing temperatures by producing a glycol-like substance in their bloodstream that acts as anti-freeze? Nature is awesome, wouldn’t you agree? Can you impress us with your intellect, or will the ‘survival of the fittest’ theory see you left unsuited to this quizzing habitat?
