A common term for an animal's home is "habitat." A habitat refers to the natural environment in which a particular species lives, grows, and thrives. It encompasses all the biological and physical conditions required for the survival of that animal, including food sources, water, shelter, and suitable climate. Various types of habitats can be categorized, such as forests, deserts, wetlands, grasslands, and aquatic environments. Each species has specific habitat requirements that influence its behavior, reproduction, and survival. Understanding animal habitats is crucial for conservation efforts and maintaining biodiversity, as altering or destroying habitats can threaten species survival.
