Understanding Habitats and Animal Adaptations

Peter from Omaha Zoo educates viewers about animal habitats by going undercover as a tree. He explains the four essential needs of a habitat: food, water, shelter, and space. An interactive activity helps reinforce these concepts. A game follows, where viewers match animals to their habitats. Despite his efforts, Peter's hypothesis about attracting animals fails, leading him to consider nocturnal animals. The video encourages viewers to explore more learning activities online.
