Tropical Forest

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.

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

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.

The largest animal habitat in the world.

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

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.

Polar Regions are the coldest habitat on Earth.

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

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

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

Most animals in the Arctic live on land.
