Habitats.
Q: What is a habitat?
A: The natural home of a plant or an animal, is called the habitat.
For e.g. the humans live in houses and flats and other kinds of shelters, which depend from country to country. Eskimos of course live in igloos, which are made, up of nothing but ice. And that is their habitat.
Fish (salmon, trout, cod, sharks and whales) all live in water.

Ducks spend most of their time in water for feeding, but actually they lay their eggs on dry land in a nest.

Plants and animals get used to the surrounding where they live and this is known as adaptations. Animals and plants have some special features that help them survive in a particular environment.
