DIFFERENT BIOMES AND AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS?
Chapter 4: Lesson 3:(PART ONE)
EnvironmentAll the living and

HabitatA place where an
animal lives and can find its food, water
and shelter it needs.
Example:Arctic fox lives in the tundra
Bulrush lives in a wetland.
Red squirrels lives in a woodland.
Most animals are adapted to live in one or two environments only.
Example:An adder cannot survive in the
arctic for to long.
Some animals are very adaptable.Example:
• Red foxes (they are not fussy eaters and have learned to live around humans)
• Red foxes can be found in woodlands, fields or urban habitats.
Habitats can be as big as an ocean
or as small as a leaf
