Animal habitat. Today, we will learn about animal habitats. You live in your home. Do you know where this squirrel is? Ah. And where do other animals live? Just like you have a house to live. So do plants and animals. A habitat is a place where an animal lives. In other words, the natural home or environment of a plant, an animal, or other organism. Habitats provide the animal with food. Water, and a place to live. There are many different types of habitats around the world, from grasslands to forests, and from big mountain slopes to large deserts. Different habitats are shelter to different animals. When we speak about an animals or a plant's house, it is more like a neighborhood than a home. An animal needs mainly 5 things to survive in its habitat. Food, water, air, shelter, and a place to raise its young ones. Different animals require different amounts of space to live in. Habitats can be large like a forest. Or they can be small like a burrow. Some big animals defend a huge territory or Rome over a large area. Some other animals need only a small amount of space and can put up with neighbors that live close by. Oh, you are very much interested in learning this. Great.
