Niches A habitat is an animal's home - the place where it finds everything it needs to survive. As you travel through Brazos Bend State Park today, you will discover many different habitats including marshes, woodlands, and prairies. Each habitat is home to a different community of species.
Plants are nature's producers and make their own food using energy from the sun.
Some animals eat only plants, and they are in turn eaten by larger animals. All plants and animals are important links in the chain of life. Together they make the natural community strong.
