Science Resource Description
Animals have adapted to live in specific habitats that meet their survival needs, such as food, water, shelter, and space. The habitats they choose are suited to their unique adaptations and behaviours, which have evolved over time to enhance their chances of survival and reproduction. Here's how the animals listed match up with their respective habitats:
- 1 camel - Desert
- 2 lion - Den or lair
- 3 whale - Ocean
- 4 rabbit - Burrow
- 5 spider - Web
- 6 badger - Sett
- 7 salmon - Freshwater
- 8 dolphin - Sea
- 9 snail - Shell
- 10 rook - Rookery
Each accurate connection between an animal and its habitat scores 2 points, reflecting the understanding of the relationship between species and their environments. This activity not only tests knowledge but also encourages learning about the natural world and the diversity of life adapted to different ecosystems.
