Animal home names for kids in English | animal & their home names | living place of animals & birds

The environment in which an animal lives (its habitat) must provide water, food, shelter, and space. Its home must also make the animal feel protected from predators, harsh weather, and other threats.

Animal homes come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

Some animal homes are easy to see, while others are camouflaged to protect them from predators. The structure of an animal’s home depends on the type of animal, the environment it lives in, and what it needs to survive. Some homes are for just one animal or for a mother and her babies. Other homes are for a large group of animals to all live together.

Animal homes serve a variety of purposes. Many animals design their homes to trap heat in and keep the cold out, especially when there are babies living in the home, since baby animals cannot keep themselves warm like their parents can. Nests, dens, and burrows are examples of this type of home.

Observe an Animal in Its Habitat

One of the best ways to learn what makes a good home for an animal is to observe animals that have already built their homes. Here are some things to look for:

1. Out in your backyard or in a park, look for homes such as a bird’s nest in tree branches, a raccoon hole in tree trunks, a rabbit hole in the ground, a spider’s web on bushes, and any other places you think an animal may be living.

2. Without getting too close to this possible home, watch for signs of activity. Are there any birds flying close to the nest? Do you see a squirrel looking for food?

3. If you see an animal or insect, watch what it is doing and where it is going. Is it gathering or finding food? Is it making any noise? Is it cleaning itself? If you watch long enough, you may be able to see where its home is.

4. If you know where an animal keeps its home, look around the area at how good that home is for the animal. Is there plenty of food? Is there a source of water nearby? Does its home provide shelter from the weather like sun or rain or snow? Is there enough space for the animal and its babies? How well does the home protect the animal family from danger?

5. Write down the interesting things that you saw and found in a nature notebook or journal and draw pictures of the animals and their homes.

For an animal to be happy and healthy in its home, it needs food, water, shelter, and security. Observing an animal in its natural environment is one of the best ways to learn what an animal needs to survive and for you to make a home for it. However, animals also need to roam and generally need a larger territory than you can provide for it in a bug habitat, so it is best to release the bug back to nature after a couple of days.
