Hab i t a t sL.O. To be able to understand that where a plant or animal lives is called its habitat.

Where do we live?As humans, we are able to

live all over the world; in the most adverse conditions. We are able to adapt to our environment – however hostile – as we design clothes and shelter to suit the surrounding area. This protects us from the weather and animals that may be harmful to us.

It is a safe place to reproduce and it is ideally protected.

A frog in its habitat – the pond. Food to eat – water to spawn – damp air so not to dry out.
