Animals live in the place that suits them best, and the world has many different places to live. In a rainforest it is warm and wet, so tall trees grow close together and a toucan and a monkey can climb and find food. In a tundra it is snowy and freezing, so a polar bear and a snowy owl wear thick white coats to stay warm and hidden. On a dry, sunny savanna the giraffe, zebra and elephant walk across the tall grass, and under the ocean the water is the home of fish, a turtle and a dolphin.
Examples
- A goldfish in a bowl needs water all the time, while your cat would never want to swim in it.
- When it snows, you put on a thick coat and a hat, just like the polar bear wears its thick fur.
Key takeaways
- Different places on Earth are hot, cold, dry or full of water.
- Each animal lives where it has the food, the warmth and the shelter it needs.
