Animal Habitats

Fresh Water

Cycle of evaporation of snow and rain allows this water to stay fresh all year.

Includes lakes, rivers, marshes, swamps and wetlands.

Found in all continents except Antarctica.

Grassland

Some animals found in grasslands 1. African Wild Dog 2.Alpaca 3. Ant 4.Baboon 5. Bat 6.Bee 7.Elephant 8.Frog 9.Kangaroo 10. Chipmunk 11.Zebra 12.Wood chuck 13.Jaguar

Facts about Grasslands 1.Grasslands are on all the continents except Antarctica. 2. Grasslands differ depending on where you are in the world. The grasslands in the Savanna in Africa are different than prairies in North America. 3. Grasslands support a wide variety of animals types for mammals to insects.

Polar Regions

Polar Regions are the coldest habitat on Earth.

Most animals in the Arctic live on land.

The Arctic is partly frozen ocean surrounded by partly frozen land.

Most animals in the Antarctic live where the ice meets the ocean.

The Antarctic ocean is an ice covered continent surrounded by storm oceans.

Ocean

Animal life can be found in all depths of the ocean.

Some animals spend all of their life deep in the ocean while others spend it near the land. For example hermit crabs spend their time near or on the land.

The largest animal habitat in the world.

Even though it is the largest habitat only 5 percent of Earth's animals live there.

Forest

Temperate Forest

Temperate Forest's have some of the widest ranges of climates. They could have either tree's that lose their leaves in the winter or it could be an evergreen forest.

Tropical Forest

The number of species living in the 2 types of tropical forests' is more than all habitats combined.

They are found near the Earths Equator. There are 2 types of Tropical Forests they are the rain forest and seasonal forest.

The difference between the 2 are that the seasonal forest has a dry season and a wet season while the tropical forest does not have a dry season.

Desert

They get less then 6 percent of rain per year.

Deserts are very dry which makes it hard for many plants to grow. Animals who live in deserts have special features to help them survive.
