Match the habitat with its description and the animal that lives there in this Grade 2 science worksheet.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a table with 5 habitats: Ocean, Forest, Desert, Arctic, Grassland.
Each has a description and an animal picture — but they’re all mixed up!
Our job is to match each habitat with the correct description AND the correct animal that lives there.

---

Step 1: Think about what each habitat is like.

- Ocean → Big body of salt water. Animals that live here swim in water. Example: Shark.
- Forest → Lots of trees and plants, plenty of water (rivers, rain). Animals like deer or zebras might live here? Wait — zebra is more grassland. Deer can be forest or grassland. Let’s check others.
- Desert → Very hot and dry, little vegetation (plants). Animal: Camel — yes, camels live in deserts!
- Arctic → Very cold, snow on ground most of the year. Animal: Seal — seals live in icy waters near Arctic. Also polar bears, but seal is shown.
- Grassland → Mostly grasses, not many trees. Animals: Zebra, deer, antelope. Here we have Deer and Zebra as options.

Wait — let’s look at the descriptions again:

Descriptions given:
1. “Very cold places where snow is on the ground most of the year.” → That’s Arctic
2. “Very hot and dry with little vegetation.” → That’s Desert
3. “Most of the plants here are grasses.” → That’s Grassland
4. “Lots of trees and plants, and plenty of water.” → That’s Forest
5. “Huge bodies of salt water.” → That’s Ocean

Now animals:
- Camel → Desert ✔
- Seal → Arctic (they live in cold ocean waters near ice) ✔
- Deer → Could be Forest or Grassland. But since Forest has “lots of trees”, deer often live in forests. Let’s tentatively assign Deer to Forest.
- Zebra → Lives in grasslands (like African savanna) ✔
- Shark → Lives in Ocean ✔

So now let’s match:

→ Ocean: Description = “Huge bodies of salt water” + Animal = Shark
→ Forest: Description = “Lots of trees and plants, and plenty of water” + Animal = Deer
→ Desert: Description = “Very hot and dry with little vegetation” + Animal = Camel
→ Arctic: Description = “Very cold places where snow is on the ground most of the year” + Animal = Seal
→ Grassland: Description = “Most of the plants here are grasses” + Animal = Zebra

Check if any conflicts? No — everything fits!

Final matching:

| Habitat | Correct Description | Correct Animal |
|-----------|----------------------------------------------------------|----------------|
| Ocean | Huge bodies of salt water | Shark |
| Forest | Lots of trees and plants, and plenty of water | Deer |
| Desert | Very hot and dry with little vegetation | Camel |
| Arctic | Very cold places where snow is on the ground most of the year | Seal |
| Grassland | Most of the plants here are grasses | Zebra |

Final Answer:
Ocean → Huge bodies of salt water → Shark
Forest → Lots of trees and plants, and plenty of water → Deer
Desert → Very hot and dry with little vegetation → Camel
Arctic → Very cold places where snow is on the ground most of the year → Seal
Grassland → Most of the plants here are grasses → Zebra
