habitat - (n.): the place or type of place where a person or thing is most likely to be found; the natural home of a plant or animal
  • Synonyms: surroundings, turf, environment, dwelling, home, range, place
  • Antonyms: unnatural surroundings
  • Origin: First recorded in 1762 in English books, from the Latin word habitare meaning "to live, dwell;” comes from a form of habere "to have, to hold, possess" (as in habit)
  • Example: Our friends from the ACEC will come into our school habitat tomorrow to teach us about some plant and animal habitats we will find on our next field trip!  Click here to take a virtual trip there, thanks to the Billings Gazette!
What kind of creatures would you expect to find in a riparian habitat like Norm's Island at this time of year?

I would expect to see a bear, and a cub asleep for the winter because some people see a bear sleeping in their habitat because they are hibirnating

I would want to reveal multiple keen creatures when there in there habitat in this kind of climate and I want to achieve the time to anxiously analyze them when they deftly emerge from there efficient, precise habitat. They are the caterpillars, the keen peers that reveal random potential! When the taboo enemies come from a remote place, the reluctant caterpillar has standard notions to ominously submit the enemy away.
