Habitats provide living things with food, water, space and shelter. The document describes several habitats including deserts, tundras, grasslands, savannahs, forests, rainforests, oceans, rivers, ponds and the animals that live within each. Animals and plants have physical and behavioral adaptations that allow them to survive within their particular habitat's unique climate and environmental conditions with limited resources like water.
