Draw a map of your neighborhood in the space below. You probably will have lots of Xes on your home and school. There will be fewer Xes on places you go less often. If you look in your backyard, you'll notice many different animals live in the same habitat, but they don't all have the same needs. If they all ate the same food and lived in the same place, there would not be enough room for everyone.
People have different niches, too.
In cities some people are bakers, others are truck drivers, and still others are lawyers, librarians, parents, or students. Like the animals, we all make our lives in different ways. Watch the animals in your backyard. The bats eat mosquitoes, the robins eat worms, and the cats pounce upon sparrows. Some are active at night and others move during the day.
