About Habitats

There are lots of different habitats. Some important ones to know are:

Grassland

Each habitat can have micro-habitats where the creature survives best. Like mushrooms that live on a tree in a forest, woodlice that live underneath a rotting log in the forest or meerkats that live underground in grassland.
