📖 Reading Passage
A habitat is a place where animals live. The ocean 🌊 is a large body of salt water — fish, whales, and crabs live here. The desert 🏜️ is very hot and dry — camels and lizards call it home. The forest 🌲 has many trees — deer, bears, and squirrels live in forests. The arctic 🧊 is very cold and icy — polar bears and seals thrive there. The grassland 🌾 is a wide open space — lions and zebras roam the grasslands. Each animal is adapted to its own habitat!
