2. What is a habitat?
A habitat is something that can provide shelter for a person or animal (think of a house where a person or animal lives).
There are several habitats that an animal can live in: such as ocean, desert or tundra.

3. Ocean The ocean is a large body of salt water.
Some words to describe it are: wet and water.
Animals that live in the ocean need to breathe in the water.
A dolphin, whale and fish all live in the ocean.

4. Desert The desert is very hot and dry (unlike the ocean).
Animals that call the desert home include a lizard, snake, and scorpion.
The plants that you can find in the desert are cactus because they need very little water.
