Introduction
Ask your child what animals need to live and grow (food, water, and shelter). Discuss that most animals can live in only one or two different habitats, although there are a small number of animals found in many different habitats. The lizard can live in many different types of habitats, while a shark can only live in one — aquatic. An animal's body parts and design can also help it live in its habitat.
