How Do Australian Animals Adapt to the Environment?

In the harsh Australian environment, it almost seems impossible that plants and animals would be able to survive. Yet, they do… and they flourish thanks to their special adaptations. This year, help your students explore the incredible ways in which animals have evolved to thrive in their environments with fun new resources from Teach Starter!

Australian Animals Adaptation Worksheet Pack on Deck

This printable resource contains a collection of five worksheets that are perfect for helping your students research and organize their learning about different adaptations that Australian animals and animals around the world use to survive in harsh environments.

Australian animal adaptation worksheets

On each worksheet, students are provided two animals to research. They are required to locate and record the habitat, primary food source, and special adaptations held by each animal. There are a total of six Australian animals for them to research, along with an additional four animals found in other environments.
