Why are some animals found in regions of the world but not found in others? Why do some animals struggle while others thrive? Animal habitats are the most vital resource for animals of all kinds to continue their species, be it in the water, air, or on land. 

In this activity we will teach you about the top 5 resources animals need that make a suitable habitat: Food, water, space, shelter, and potential mates. Not only will you explore different habitats and different animal needs, you’ll also learn about why some animal habitats are in danger and what you can do to help prevent the loss of critical habitat for animals across the globe.
