Habitats: The Habitat Museum

Welcome to the Habitat Museum! Grandma Bea leads the way past five big glass windows, and each one is a little world: a forest, a desert, the ocean, a pond and the snowy Arctic.

Remember: A habitat is the place where an animal lives. It gives the animal food, water and shelter. Each animal is suited to its own habitat: a camel to the dry desert, a whale to the salty ocean, a frog to a fresh-water pond, a polar bear to the icy Arctic.

Magic trick: A habitat is an animal’s home address: it has the kitchen (food), the tap (water) and the bedroom (shelter).
