II. READ the text about different habitats. UNDERLINE all the habitats you can recognize and the
animals.

Habitats

A habitat is the environment where living organisms exist, including plants and animals.
In the planet, there are different habitats.

Grassland is full of tall growing grass containing very few trees. Animals found on
grasslands may include antelopes, ants, brown bears, squirrels, rabbits, lions, hippos, and
many others.

A desert is extremely dry, receives lots of sunshine and has very few plants. Animals
found in the desert include lizards, camels, rhinoceros, tarantulas, kangaroos, and several
more.

A rainforest receives rain all year long. There are more animals living in these tropical
forests than all of the other habitats. Many animals live there, including anacondas,
baboons, bats, geckos, monkeys, tigers, toucans, tortoises, ladybugs, elephants, centipedes,
and crocodiles.

On mountains, the plant and animal life changes because the climate is much cooler, and
there is less oxygen. A few of those animals include badgers, beavers, buzzards, fox,
iguana, red pandas, wombats and gorillas.

In Polar Regions it is the coldest place in the world, and the land is partly frozen.
Animals living in Polar Regions may include caribou, owls, walrus, whales, and coyotes.

Two other habitats include freshwater, such as lakes, rivers, wetlands, and swamps,
and saltwater oceans. Freshwater includes many reptiles, fish, and birds.

The ocean is the largest animal habitat on Earth. Animals in the ocean include lobsters,
orcas, seals, and many more; some also live on the coast like sea lions and seals.

As you can see, there are habitats all over the world, and some animals live in more than
one habitat. Remember, a habitat can be located under a rock as a home for a worm; or it
can be the huge ocean, a home for a whale.
