Some animals live in green forests. Others live in deserts. These places are called habitats. A habitat has everything an animal needs. It has shelter. It has food. And it is the right temperature for its animals.
Grassland Habitat
Lions live in African grasslands. This habitat gets a little bit of rain. That helps the tall grasses grow.
Polar Habitat
Brr! A polar habitat is icy. It is the coldest habitat. Polar bears and penguins live in polar habitats.
Desert Habitat
Deserts are dry. Few plants grow. These camels do not need much water. They can eat whatever grows.
Mountain Habitat
Mountain goats live on top of the world. They have tough hooves for climbing. Their thick coat keeps them warm.
Temperate Forests
Temperate forests have four seasons. They get lots of rain. Squirrels and bears live in temperate forests. So do moose.
Ocean Habitat
The ocean is the biggest habitat. Animals from tiny shrimp to giant whales live here. Oceans cover most of the Earth.
Freshwater Habitat
Splash! Rivers and lakes are freshwater habitats. This water is not salty like the ocean. Turtles and some kinds of fish live in fresh water.
Rainforest Habitat
This jaguar lives in a rainforest. A rainforest is hot and humid. It rains a lot here.
