The sentence that does not describe a structural adaptation is:
"A dog walks to a stream and drinks when it gets thirsty."
This sentence describes a behavioral response (the dog drinking water) rather than a structural adaptation, which involves physical traits that help an organism survive in its environment. The other sentences describe physical characteristics that contribute to the organism's survival or function.
