There are many different places where we can find living things.

The place that a plant or animal is best suited to and where it is most likely to find everything it needs to survive is called its habitat.

A habitat is where a living thing makes its home. For an animal such as a whale, it can be as big as the ocean, or for a tiny insect, it might be the damp soil under a rock.

Let's look at a practice question together.

Example

True or false - an owl's habitat is a woodland? 

This is true. An owl's habitat is a woodland. The smaller habitat for an owl within a woodland is a tree. 

Let's answer the questions in this activity and find out what we know about the many habitats to be found in the world.
