Homes That Help Animals Survive

A habitat is the place where an animal finds food, water, shelter, and space. A beaver lives near ponds and streams. Its strong teeth cut branches for a lodge, and its flat tail helps it swim to safety. The pond gives the beaver water and plants to eat. A fennec fox lives in a hot desert. Its large ears release heat, while its furry feet protect it from warm sand. The fox rests in an underground den during the hottest part of the day and searches for insects and small animals at cooler times. These body parts and behaviors are adaptations that help each animal survive. Both animals depend on their habitats, but each has adaptations that match its environment. When a habitat changes, animals may need to find a new source of food, water, or shelter.
