This document discusses different habitats including deserts, forests, rain forests, marine environments, and zoos. Forests cover 1/3 of the Earth and are dominated by trees, with precipitation distributed evenly throughout the year supporting animals like bears and deer. Marine habitats cover 75% of the Earth and support a vast diversity of plant and animal life ranging from microscopic to 100 foot whales. Zoos are man-made habitats that are important for recreation, education, wildlife conservation, and scientific studies.
