Temperate forests usually have rain, high humidity, and a variety of trees making them the perfect home to hawks, deer, opossums, and rabbits.  These animals enjoy all four seasons in the forest and have learned to adapt to the changing temperature.

How do you think the animals that live in the forest prepare for the cold months? Check out their home and see if you can come up with some ideas.

Desert have less than 10 inches of rain per year and therefore, have very few plants that grow in it.  When most people think of a desert, they think that it is always hot there, but in fact, there are cold deserts too.  The plants and animals that live in the desert have adapted to living without much water.

The tundra is found in arctic regions.  It is very cold there most of the year. The summer season lasts only 2 months and during that time the ground never completely thaws out.  This "permafrost" makes it impossible for trees to grow.

Tropical rainforests are warm and wet.  It rains between 60 and 160 inches per year...that means plants and animals who live here can get between 5 and more than 13 feet of rain per year.

Plants in the tropical rainforest typically have wide leaves. Why do you think the leaves are wide?  Follow this link to take a look around. What animals do you think might live here?
