An animal s habitat is its home.
Animals look to their habitats to provide food, shelter, and protection from predators.
When a habitat is changed or polluted, animals can t find these things they need. Some animals have trouble adapting to the change and start to die off. A major habitat change can cause large groups of animal species to die out. These animals are in danger of extinction, and are known as endangered species . As humans, it s important that we protect these natural environments to help prevent animal extinction.
