Can you think of some more
animals from each of the habitats? One has
been written for you in each box.
Good sense of smell,
sight and hearing
for hunting in snow
Thick fur
to keep warm
Every animal has
special adaptations so that it is able
to live in its habitat. Some habitats are
wet, others dry; some are hot, others
cold. An animal gets everything that it
needs from its habitat.
Snow leopards live in cold
mountainous areas.
Coloured fur
Long tail
for balance
for camouflage
Large paws
to spread weight over snow
Draw a picture of an
animal that might live on
another planet. Label it like
the snow leopard picture to
explain its adaptations.
