Also it could takes place by the process of structural changes that blends them well with the environment. Classical Example is the adaptation by Polar bear. In the coolest arctic region, polar bear possesses long white furs with big sized paws and long hair. This help them to blend with white snowy color of environment and the big sized paws prevents them from slipping in ice and also could dig in the ice to take shelter is hostile weather like snowstorm. They have thick layers of fat beneath the skin that keeps them warm. Also they are capable of swimming , in spite of a big body to facilitate their feeding on fishes on arctic sea.
