No matter where in the world you live, animals are nearby.
Maybe some ants are scurrying across the ground. Maybe a bird is singing in a tree. Maybe a dog is barking. Perhaps a bison is roaming on the plains nearby.
Animals live in every habitat, or environment, on Earth. They live in the freezing North and South Poles. They live in the sizzling deserts. They live high in the mountains, deep in the ocean, and everywhere in between. To live in these habitats, animals have developed the features they need to survive. An elephant’s trunk, for example, may seem odd. But it is useful to the elephant for drinking, bathing, scratching, and more.
