Match the animal to its natural habitat in this engaging educational activity.

Let's solve this step-by-step.

Step 1: Match Each Animal to Its Natural Habitat

We have six habitats listed at the top:
- Ocean
- Forest
- Jungle
- Farm
- Desert
- Ponds/Marsh

And 12 animals arranged in a grid (4 rows, 3 columns). We'll go row by row.

---

#### Row 1:
1. Sea Otter – Lives in the Ocean
→ Match: Ocean

2. Jellyfish – Lives in the Ocean
→ Match: Ocean

3. Wolf – Lives in Forest or Desert, but typically associated with Forest and cold regions
→ Match: Forest

> Wait — actually, wolves can be found in forests, tundras, and deserts, but the most common habitat shown here is Forest.

#### Row 2:
4. Moose – Lives in Forest (especially boreal forests)
→ Match: Forest

5. Stork – Often lives near Ponds/Marshes where it hunts for fish and amphibians
→ Match: Ponds/Marsh

6. Toucan – Lives in the Jungle (tropical rainforests)
→ Match: Jungle

---

#### Row 3:
7. Squirrel – Lives in Forest (tree-dwelling)
→ Match: Forest

8. Crayfish – Lives in Ponds/Marshes or freshwater streams
→ Match: Ponds/Marsh

9. Tiger – Lives in Jungle or forested areas (especially tropical jungles)
→ Match: Jungle

---

#### Row 4:
10. Cow – Lives on a Farm
→ Match: Farm

11. Chicken – Lives on a Farm
→ Match: Farm

12. Octopus – Lives in the Ocean
→ Match: Ocean

---

✔ Final Matching:

| Animal | Habitat |
|---------------|---------------|
| Sea Otter | Ocean |
| Jellyfish | Ocean |
| Wolf | Forest |
| Moose | Forest |
| Stork | Ponds/Marsh |
| Toucan | Jungle |
| Squirrel | Forest |
| Crayfish | Ponds/Marsh |
| Tiger | Jungle |
| Cow | Farm |
| Chicken | Farm |
| Octopus | Ocean |

Step 2: Identify Vertebrates vs. Invertebrates

Vertebrates have a backbone (spine).
Invertebrates do not have a backbone.

Let’s go through each animal:

1. Sea Otter – Mammal → Vertebrate
2. Jellyfish – No backbone → Invertebrate
3. Wolf – Mammal → Vertebrate
4. Moose – Mammal → Vertebrate
5. Stork – Bird → Vertebrate
6. Toucan – Bird → Vertebrate
7. Squirrel – Mammal → Vertebrate
8. Crayfish – Crustacean → Invertebrate
9. Tiger – Mammal → Vertebrate
10. Cow – Mammal → Vertebrate
11. Chicken – Bird → Vertebrate
12. Octopus – Cephalopod (mollusk) → Invertebrate

✔ Summary of Vertebrates and Invertebrates:

Vertebrates (have backbone):
- Sea Otter
- Wolf
- Moose
- Stork
- Toucan
- Squirrel
- Tiger
- Cow
- Chicken

Invertebrates (no backbone):
- Jellyfish
- Crayfish
- Octopus

✔ Final Answer:

#### Matching:

| Animal | Habitat |
|---------------|---------------|
| Sea Otter | Ocean |
| Jellyfish | Ocean |
| Wolf | Forest |
| Moose | Forest |
| Stork | Ponds/Marsh |
| Toucan | Jungle |
| Squirrel | Forest |
| Crayfish | Ponds/Marsh |
| Tiger | Jungle |
| Cow | Farm |
| Chicken | Farm |
| Octopus | Ocean |

#### Vertebrates:
- Sea Otter, Wolf, Moose, Stork, Toucan, Squirrel, Tiger, Cow, Chicken

#### Invertebrates:
- Jellyfish, Crayfish, Octopus

✔ All animals are now matched to their homes and classified correctly!
