A behavioral adaptation is something an animal does, not a body part it has, that helps it survive. These behavioral adaptations worksheets for 3rd grade show how a sloth saves energy, how a skunk warns its enemies, how a hippo stays cool, why some animals hibernate or migrate, how a sea otter uses a rock as a tool and how a garden spider builds a web. The newest pages add a gray squirrel that buries nuts one at a time in fall to eat in winter, an opossum that goes stiff and gives off a bad smell when it is very frightened, and a green iguana that basks in the sun to warm up and moves into the shade to cool off (NGSS 3-LS4-3). There are 11 sheets, each with an answer key.
