π Where Animals Live: Exploring Habitats
Introduction
Every creature has a special place it calls home. That home is called a Habitat. A habitat gives animals food, water, shelter, and a safe spot to grow.
1. Forests β The Green Homes
- Tall trees reach up to the sky.
- Birds build nests in branches, while squirrels hide nuts in tree trunks.
- The shade keeps the forest cool, and the leaves drop to make a soft carpet on the ground.
2. Deserts β The Hot, Dry Lands
- Sand stretches far and wide.
- Cacti store water, and camels can go many days without drinking.
- Animals are active early in the morning or late at night when itβs not so hot.
3. Oceans β The Big Blue World
- Water covers most of Earth.
- Fish, whales, and sea turtles swim together.
- Coral reefs act like underwater cities, giving tiny fish places to hide.
4. Arctic β The Icy Kingdom
- Snow and ice cover the land.
- Polar bears have thick fur to stay warm.
- The cold water is full of fish that seals love to eat.
