Understanding Habitat and Niche

The video from MooMooMath and Science explains the concepts of habitat and niche. A habitat is where a plant or animal lives, providing food, shelter, and mates. A niche is the role an organism plays in its environment, including its diet and interactions. The teacher uses personal examples and the Galapagos finches to illustrate these concepts. Each finch species has a unique niche that allows them to coexist on the islands. The video concludes with a request to subscribe and share.
