Habitats or biomes are determined by the climate and geography of the region as well as the animals and plants inhabiting the area. Most animal and bird species are adapted to survive in specific habitats and cannot live in other types of habitats.]]> 2022-10-06 14:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/nancypollescas/nb7mizddez1zk2kj/wish/2329466516 nancypollescas https://padlet.com/nancypollescas/nb7mizddez1zk2kj/wish/2329468897 https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/habitat]]> 2022-10-06 14:19:48 UTC https://padlet.com/nancypollescas/nb7mizddez1zk2kj/wish/2329468897 nancypollescas https://padlet.com/nancypollescas/nb7mizddez1zk2kj/wish/2329470612 2022-10-06 14:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/nancypollescas/nb7mizddez1zk2kj/wish/2329470612 nancypollescas https://padlet.com/nancypollescas/nb7mizddez1zk2kj/wish/2329471499 2022-10-06 14:21:12 UTC https://padlet.com/nancypollescas/nb7mizddez1zk2kj/wish/2329471499 nancypollescas https://padlet.com/nancypollescas/nb7mizddez1zk2kj/wish/2329473164 2022-10-06 14:22:02 UTC https://padlet.com/nancypollescas/nb7mizddez1zk2kj/wish/2329473164 nancypollescas https://padlet.com/nancypollescas/nb7mizddez1zk2kj/wish/2329474657 A habitat is a place where an organism makes its home]]> 2022-10-06 14:22:53 UTC https://padlet.com/nancypollescas/nb7mizddez1zk2kj/wish/2329474657 nancypollescas https://padlet.com/nancypollescas/nb7mizddez1zk2kj/wish/2329476615
What is a habitat?
Squirrel
A habitat is a special place where a plant or animal lives. Just like you have a home or place to live, so do animals and plants. When we talk about an animal's or a plant's home it is more like a neighborhood than a “house.” An animal needs five things to survive in its habitat:

food
water
shelter
air
a place to raise its young
Animals require different amounts of space. Habitats can be big like a forest or they can be much smaller like a burrow. Some animals defend a huge territory or roam over a large area. Some other animals need only a small amount of space and can put up with neighbors that live close by.

Just like you have to go to the store to get food, an animal leaves its “shelter” to get the things they need to live. If the animal's needs aren't met, it will move to a different habitat.

Different animals need different habitats. A fish, for example, needs clean water in which to live. A grasshopper, however, needs a big space where it can hop and a variety of leaves that it can eat.]]> 2022-10-06 14:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/nancypollescas/nb7mizddez1zk2kj/wish/2329476615
