    The document discusses adaptations that allow aquatic animals to live in water. It explains that animals like fish and dolphins have bodies adapted for breathing underwater, with gills or the ability to surface breathe. Their limbs and tails are adapted for efficient movement in water, such as paddle-like limbs in turtles or webbed feet in ducks. Examples provided of aquatic animals are fish, whales, dolphins, crabs and turtles. The document also discusses specific adaptations of fish, such as their streamlined bodies, fins for swimming and balancing, tails for changing direction, gills for breathing, and scales that keep their bodies waterproof.

    Topic: Aquatic Animals

    Good morning children.


    In the previous class we discussed that polar animals have thick hairs and fur which
    keep them warm. They also have a thick layer of fat called blubber which keeps their
    body warm.

    Children, how long can you hold your breath underwater?

    Only for a few seconds……..

    Then how can fishes, dolphins live in water?

    This is because the home of fishes and dolphins is water and they have adapted their

    bodies to that habitat.

    Today’s topic is adaptation in aquatic animals.

    Animals that live in water are called aquatic animals. Example: fishes, whales, dolphins,
    crabs, turtles, ducks are few examples.

    Aquatic animals are adapted to breathe and move easily in water. Their body is such that

    it prevents water from being absorbed.

    Adaptation in aquatic animals:


    Breathing: Aquatic animals have gills that help them to breathe underwater. Eg-
    crabs, fishes. Some aquatic animals have lungs for breathing. They come up to the
    surface of the water to breathe. Eg. whales and dolphins.
    Movement: Some aquatic animals have paddle-like limbs (e.g. turtles) while some
    have webbed feet (eg ducks) that help them to move easily in water.

    Adaptation in fishes:
    Fishes have a streamlined body which helps them to move easily.

    Their fins help them to swim and maintain balance in water.

    Their tails help to change direction.

    They breathe with the help of gills.

    Their body is covered with scales that keep the body waterproof.

    Today we studied how aquatic animals are adapted to live in water. In the next class we
    will be discussing adaptation in amphibians and arboreal animals.

    That’s all for today. Have a nice day.

    H.W: Read the topic ‘aquatic animals’ given on page no.27-28
