Unlike us, plants and animals cannot change their clothes to suit the environmental conditions where they live. So they have ADAPTED to their HABITAT.

Certain animals and plants are able to live in the extreme of heat of deserts. Some are able to live in the intense cold of the polar regions. Some live in dense forests and some on wide open plains.

Some habitats are large.

Some habitats are small - a garden wall or underneath a stone is a habitat for some species.

They can all live where they do, because over millions of years they have developed specific features to help them to suit their HABITAT.
