Adaptation in aerial animals:

Birds have several adaptations that help them fly. Their body is spindle-shaped, meaning it is narrow at both ends, which reduces air resistance when flying. Their bones are hollow, making their bodies light. Birds have feathers that help them fly smoothly, and their forelegs are modified into wings for flying.
Insects also have adaptations for flying. Their bodies are light in weight and taper at both ends, making it easier for them to move through the air. Many insects have two pairs of wings for flying and six stick-like legs for walking.
Bats can fly using a special adaptation called the patagium, which is a thin fold of skin stretched between their forelegs and hind legs. This helps them glide through the air easily.
