Question

Can you give some examples of animals which show acclimatisation?

Answer 1

Acclimatisation (also called acclimation or acclimatation) is the process in which an individual organism adjusts to a change in its environment (such as a change in altitude, temperature, humidity, photoperiod, or pH), allowing it to maintain performance across a range of environmental conditions.



EXAMPLES
Animals acclimatize in many ways.
Sheep grow very thick wool in cold, damp climates.
Fish are able to adjust only gradually to changes in water temperature and quality.

Tropical fish sold at pet stores are often kept in acclimatization bags until this process is complete.
Lowe & Vance (1995) were able to show that lizards acclimated to warm temperatures could maintain a higher running speed at warmer temperatures than lizards that were not acclimated to warm conditions.
