Did you know that exploring animals by habitat is one of the most exciting ways to learn about the natural world? You can travel to every corner of the world, from dense rainforests to arid deserts, to learn about animals that are unique to each habitat.

Each animal has unique adaptations that help it thrive and survive in its environment. In this article, Animal Awesome will take you on a journey to explore the diverse animal world, from the depths of the ocean to the lush rainforests. Welcome to the wonderful world of wildlife!

What is a Habitat?

Animal habitat is a specific environment or place where a particular animal lives to find food, water and shelter to survive. Based on nature and lifestyle, animal habitats can vary. Each habitat has a different set of conditions, resources and a set of challenges. These parameters affect the habitat and the adaptations and behavior of the animals living there. 

Animal habitats can be divided into three types. These are terrestrial habitats, aquatic habitats and aerial habitats which we will discuss further.

What is Microhabitat?

Microhabitat is a small local environment of a larger habitat. We have some special and specific conditions to provide protection to certain animals or microorganisms. Habitats are characterized by small compatible patterns. We have some specific effects on the organisms living there.

To sum up, a microhabitat is a small part of a larger habitat. It has the means to support organisms. Microhabitats can be regulated by several factors such as temperature, humidity, light, and air circulation.

Types of Animal Habitats

Animal habitats can be divided into three types. They are terrestrial habitats, aquatic habitats, and aerial habitats. Aquatic habitats are places that provide food and shelter to aquatic creatures such as fish, crabs, eels, etc. There are many aquatic habitats in the world such as oceans, ponds, lakes, rivers, etc. 

On the other hand, terrestrial habitats are areas of land, fields, forests, deserts, etc. which can be natural or man-made. Aerial habitats are where we can find animals living and flying in the sky.

Terrestrial Habitats

Terrestrial habitats are where we can find land animals. They include a variety of habitats, from natural environments such as forests, grasslands, and deserts to man-made environments such as farms, towns, and cities, which are also considered terrestrial habitats. Terrestrial habitats can also be found underground, such as caves, tunnels, and mines. 

Below are the major terrestrial habitats mentioned that you can follow:

Aquatic Habitats

Water is both a source of food and a shelter for aquatic animals. There are many aquatic habitats on earth including oceans, ponds, lakes, rivers, etc. These habitats can be divided into two types, freshwater and marine. They are home to many animals that have adapted to life in water. 

Some of the major aquatic habitats are mentioned below:

Aerial Habitats

Aerial habitats are another type of habitat that we commonly find in the air such as the sky or atmosphere. Aerial habitats can be found all over the world. Some specific aerial habitats are mentioned below:

– Forest Canopy

– Open Sky

– Urban Habitat

– Polar Habitat

– Alpine Habitat
