The place where an animal or plant lives and grows is called its habitat.HABITAT

DESERT
There is very little water available in the desert It is very hot in the day time and very cold at night Organisms: camel, rat , snakeDESERT
A camel can survive without water for several days
How???
They excrete small amount of urine, their dung is dry
They do not sweatSince they lose very little water they can live for many days without water
They have long legs which keep their bodies away from heat of the sand They have long eyelashes which keep sand out of the their eyes.
So, these things helps camel to survive in the desertAn adaptation is anything about an animal that helps it live or survive in its environment.
What about desert plants?
Desert plants Store water in tissues They have spines They have thick leaves to retain water.
MOUNTAIN REGION
very cold and windy habitat snowfall takes place in winter in many areas organisms: snow leopard, yak, mountain goatsMOUNTAIN REGIONTrees are normally cone shaped and have sloping branches. leaves of some of these trees are needle like which help rain water and snow to slide down easily.
