A habitat is any place that provides water, enough food of the right kind, and a safe place to live and raise a family. Habitats can be big areas such as oceans and forests. Understanding a habitat means doing active research. Listen and look for clues such as animal tracks. Then make an educated guess.
Trees provide hiding places for animals.
The bark and the shape of the leaves can help you identify the tree. Her funnel- shaped web is an important clue. A little research reveals that a Grass Spider makes a web like that. When winter sets in, the spiders die, but their eggs hatch in spring. The spiderlings spread out and build their own tiny webs in the grass.
