Animals and Their Habitats
Every animal has a specific place where it lives and thrives. This is known as its habitat. A habitat provides everything an animal needs to survive, such as food, water, and shelter. Here are a few examples:
- Desert: Home to animals like camels, lizards, and scorpions that can survive with very little water.
- Forest: Wooded areas that provide shelter for animals such as deer, bears, and various bird species.
- Ocean: The vast waters where animals like dolphins, sharks, and sea turtles live.
- Grasslands: Open areas with grasses where animals like elephants, lions, and cheetahs roam.
