When an organism is well adapted to its environment, this means that the organism is easily able to:

- withstand the climate of its habitat/environment

- regulate its bodily temperature in aforementioned climate

- use its abilities (such as eyesight, a keen sense of smell, etc.) to find nourishment or hunt prey

- safely hide, camouflage into the environment, or ward off possible attackers

Good luck on your assignment, and I hope my answer suffices.
