Hello friends! Today, we’re going on an exciting adventure to learn about different places where animals and plants live. These special places are called habitats. A habitat is a place that has everything living things need to survive, like light, water, the right temperature, ground, and oxygen. Depending on these things, habitats can be very different from each other.
There are two main types of natural habitats: terrestrial (land) and aquatic (water). Let’s start by exploring some amazing terrestrial habitats!
Welcome to the desert! It’s super hot here with lots of sunlight and very little rain. Because water is hard to find, plants and animals have special ways to save water. For example, cacti store water inside them. Animals like scorpions, snakes, and camels can live here. Did you know there are cold deserts too? Everything is frozen there, and animals like polar bears have adapted to live in the cold.
Next, let’s visit the jungle! It’s full of plants and gets lots of rain, making it very humid. In the jungle, you might see beautiful orchids, tiny hummingbirds, and maybe even a panther or jaguar!
Now we’re in the woods, where there are lots of trees like beech and pine. There are also shrubs like rock rose. Woods can be warm or cold, and this affects the plants and animals you find. Bears and eagles live here, and it rains often. Watch out for storms!
Welcome to the prairie! This habitat has lots of grass and small plants. Animals like foxes and rodents call the prairie home. The climate here is humid, with cold winters and warm summers.
Now we’re in the savannah, which has fewer trees and is usually dry. There are two seasons: a dry season and a humid season. You can find grasses, herbs, and trees like baobabs. Elephants, zebras, giraffes, lions, and cheetahs live here too!
Now let’s dive into aquatic habitats, where water is the main feature!
Rivers and lakes are freshwater habitats. You can find fish like trout and plants like water lilies here. These places are full of life!
Oceans and seas are saltwater habitats with amazing creatures like whales, sharks, corals, and seahorses. Seaweed grows in the ocean too. Animals here have special ways to live underwater, like fish using gills to breathe. Light is important, but pollution can block it, making it hard for plants and animals to survive.
Today, we learned about terrestrial habitats like deserts, jungles, woods, prairies, and savannahs, as well as aquatic habitats like rivers, lakes, oceans, and seas. Each habitat is unique and full of life. Keep exploring and learning about the amazing world around us!
Habitat Matching Game: Create a set of cards with pictures of different animals and plants on one set and pictures of their corresponding habitats on another. Mix them up and challenge yourself to match each animal or plant with its correct habitat. For example, match a camel with the desert or a fish with a river. This game will help you remember which animals and plants belong to which habitats.
Nature Walk and Observation: Take a walk in your local park or backyard with an adult and observe the different plants and animals you see. Try to identify which habitat they might belong to. Are there more trees like in the woods, or is it more open like a prairie? Write down or draw what you see and discuss how these plants and animals are suited to their environment.
Build Your Own Mini-Habitat: Using a small box or container, create a mini-habitat for a toy animal. You can use sand for a desert, water for a lake, or leaves and twigs for a jungle. Think about what your toy animal would need to survive in its habitat and add those elements. Share your creation with friends or family and explain why you chose those materials for your habitat.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hello friends! Today we’re going to discover different places where living beings reside. These places are known as habitats. Did you know that we call a habitat a place that has the necessary resources for living beings to survive? These resources include light, water, temperature, ground, and oxygen. Depending on these resources, we can find very different habitats.
There are two types of natural habitats: terrestrial and aquatic. Today, I’m going to explore terrestrial habitats. Are you coming with me?
**Desert**
It’s so hot here in the desert! There’s a lot of light, and the temperature is very high. It rains very little in the desert, and water is scarce. For this reason, many animals and plants have developed strategies to accumulate water. For example, cacti can store water. Animals like scorpions, snakes, and mammals such as camels can live in the desert. Did you know that there are cold deserts too? In these habitats, everything is frozen, and temperatures are extremely low. There are barely any plants, but some animals, like polar bears, have adapted to live here.
**Jungle**
Now, we continue our trip to the jungle! Look at all the plants! This habitat has a lot of rain and mild temperatures, creating a humid environment with many living beings. Here we can find orchids and hummingbirds, and possibly a panther or a jaguar.
**Woods**
We’re now in the woods, where there is plenty of vegetation, mainly trees like beech and pine, as well as shrubs like rock rose. Did you know that there are many types of woodlands? Their temperatures can vary from cold to warm, affecting the vegetation and animals found there. In the woods, we can find animals like bears and eagles. It rains often here, and I think that cloud means a storm is coming. Let’s continue our trip!
**Prairie**
We’ve just arrived at a prairie. This habitat is characterized by small plants like grass and animals like foxes and rodents. The climate in the prairie is humid, with cold winters and warm summers.
**Savannah**
Now we’re in the savannah, a habitat with little vegetation. Savannas are usually dry areas with low rainfall. However, there are two distinct seasons: a dry season with low temperatures and a humid season with warm temperatures. Here we can find grasses, herbs, and some trees like baobabs. Among the animals, there are many herbivores like elephants, zebras, and giraffes, as well as carnivorous animals like lions and cheetahs.
Today, we explored terrestrial habitats, including deserts, jungles, woods, prairies, and savannas. But we still have aquatic habitats to visit! Don’t miss the next video. See you soon!

Hello again, friends! In the previous video, we talked about habitats. Do you remember what they are? A habitat is a place that has the necessary resources for living beings to survive, including light, water, temperature, ground, and oxygen. Depending on these resources, we can find very different habitats. There are two types of natural habitats: terrestrial and aquatic. In the previous video, we explored terrestrial habitats, and today we will be visiting aquatic habitats. Are you coming with us?
**Rivers and Lakes**
Rivers and lakes are freshwater habitats where we can find many animals, including fish like trout and small plants like water lilies.
**Oceans and Seas**
Oceans and seas are saltwater habitats that host a great diversity of animals, such as whales, sharks, corals, and seahorses. There are also plants that grow in the sea, like seaweed. In aquatic habitats, living beings have adapted to carry out their activities underwater. For example, fish have gills that allow them to breathe underwater. Light is also an important resource in these habitats, but sometimes contamination prevents it from reaching the depths of rivers, lakes, or oceans, leaving living beings without this essential resource.
Today, we learned that aquatic habitats are distinguished as freshwater (rivers and lakes) and saltwater (oceans and seas). That was all about habitats. See you soon!
