This is called a Habitat! Animals require air, water, food, and shelter to survive. They need environments or Areas where these needs can be met. This is called a Habitat!

There are distinct Environments in the world that support different types of animal’s habitat. Some like it Hot: Some like it Cold:

Desert and Polar Habitats Extremely hot and dry Get less than six inches of rain per year Few plants Only certain animals can survive he harsh conditions http://www.skyenimals.com/browse_habitat.cgi? habitat=desert Artic- in the North Frozen ocean that surrounds an empty land. Contains a few animals species Antarctic- in the South Ice covered continent Surrounded by story seas Contains a few animals that are different from Artic. http://www.skyenimals.com/browse_habitat.cgi? habitat=polar_regions

Fresh Water and Ocean Habitats Pond/Lake: Ocean: Made by the evaporation process Include lakes, ponds, swamps, rivers, wetlands, marshes. Each habitat is different, therefore the animals for each fresh water habitat are different http://www.skyenimals.com/browse_h abitat.cgi?habitat=freshwater The largest habitat on Earth Animals hat live in this habitat are all very different. Some live by the land Some live deep deep down below the surface Some breath air, some don’t http://www.skyenimals.com/browse_h abitat.cgi?habitat=oceans

Jungle and Grassland Habitats Found near the Earths Equator Get around 8.5 feet of rain a year Contain a large number of living things, the number of living this is more than all he other habitats combined. http://www.skyenimals.com/browse_habitat.cgi? habitat=tropical_forest Filled with tall, growing grass Dry Not too many trees Located everywhere except Antarctica, in the USA its called a Prairie. In Africa its called a Savanna. Support a lot of animals, from lions to birds. http://www.skyenimals.com/browse_habitat.cgi?h abitat=grassland
