ANIMALS AND THEIR HABITATS

BY: MARIAH AND KESHIA

HABITAT

• A HABITAT IS AN ECOLOGICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL AREA THAT IS INHABITED BY A PARTICULAR SPECIES OF ANIMAL, PLANT, OR OTHER TYPE OF ORGANISM. 

TYPES OF HABITATS

•THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF ANIMAL HABITATS….

TERRESTRIAL

• ARE ANIMALS THAT LIVE PREDOMINANTLY OR ENTIRELY ON LAND (E.G., CATS, ANTS, EMUS)

• "TERRE" MEANS EARTH, TERRESTRIAL MEANS "OF THE EARTH".

AQUATIC

• AN AQUATIC ANIMAL IS AN ANIMAL, EITHER VERTEBRATE OR INVERTEBRATE, WHICH LIVES IN WATER FOR MOST OR ALL OF ITS LIFE.

• THE TERM AQUATIC CAN IN THEORY BE APPLIED TO ANIMALS THAT LIVE IN EITHER FRESHWATER (FRESHWATER ANIMALS) OR SALTWATER (MARINE ANIMALS). HOWEVER, THE ADJECTIVE MARINE IS MOST COMMONLY USED FOR ANIMALS THAT LIVE IN SALTWATER, I.E. IN OCEANS, SEAS, ETC. INVASIVE AQUATIC ANIMALS REQUIRE A WATER HABITAT, BUT DO NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO LIVE ENTIRELY IN WATER

AMPHIBIAN

• AMPHIBIANS ARE VERTEBRATES (ANIMALS WITH BACKBONES) WHICH ARE ABLE, WHEN ADULT, TO LIVE BOTH IN WATER AND ON LAND. UNLIKE FISH, THEY CAN BREATHE ATMOSPHERIC OXYGEN THROUGH LUNGS, AND THEY DIFFER FROM REPTILES IN THAT THEY HAVE SOFT, MOIST, USUALLY SCALE-LESS SKIN, AND HAVE TO BREED IN WATER. REPTILES, SUCH AS LIZARDS AND TURTLES, ALWAYS LAY THEIR EGGS ON LAND.

AERIAL

• ANIMALS THAT CAN FLY IN THE AIR ARE CALLED AERIAL ANIMALS. BIRDS AND BATS FLY IN THE AIR. BIRDS HAVE WINGS TO FLY WITH. THEY ALSO HAVE HOLLOW BONES WHICH MAKE THEIR BODY LIGHT AND MAKE THEM FLY.

• BATS ARE NOT BIRDS. THEY ARE MAMMALS. THEY DO NOT HAVE TRUE WINGS. THEIR WINGS ARE MADE OF FLAPS OF SKIN.

• MANY INSECTS ALSO HAVE WINGS WHICH HELP THEM FLY IN THE AIR.
