Animals and Where They Live
A habitat is the place where an animal lives and finds food and water. Different animals need different habitats. Some live in forests, some in oceans, some in deserts, and some live right in our homes or on farms.
Example
South African Animals
Lions and elephants live in the bushveld and game reserves like the Kruger National Park. Penguins live near the cold ocean at Boulders Beach in Cape Town. Meerkats live in burrows in the dry Kalahari.
Note
Remember
We must protect animals and their habitats. When we cut down trees or pollute rivers, animals lose their homes. South Africa has many special animals found nowhere else in the world.
