1. Let’s think!
   • A habitat is a natural home for animals.
   • In a habitat, animals can find food, water, and shelter.
   • Different animals are suited to live in different habitats.
   • Some examples of habitats are the ocean, the desert, the forest, and the arctic!
2. The Ocean
   • Oceans are areas of salty water that cover 70% of the Earth.
   • Not all animals can live in the ocean- what animals can you think of that live in the ocean?
3. The Desert
   • Deserts are very hot and dry. Many animals that live in deserts are nocturnal, only coming out at night when it’s cooler.
   • Can you think of animals that might live in this habitat?
4. The Forest
   • Forests are filled with trees and vegetation.
   • Forests follow our seasons, so animals that live here must be able to adapt to the changing seasons.
   • Some animals migrate, or move, to escape the cold weather of winter.
   • Can you think of animals that live in forests?
5. The Arctic
   • The arctic is made up of ice floating on the ocean- brrr!
   • Most plants cannot survive here, and any animals that live in the arctic must be able to handle extremely cold conditions.
   • What animals can you think of that might live in the arctic?
6. Watch this fun video about habitats!

   • Flip through the next few slides- can you figure out which animal does NOT belong in the different habitats?
