Let's solve both parts of this "Animal Habitat" worksheet step by step.

Word Bank:
grassland, forest, ocean, desert, marshes, cave
We are given six images. Let’s identify each one:
1. First image (top left): A rocky structure with a dark opening → This is a cave.
2. Second image (top right): Trees and greenery → This is a forest.
3. Third image (middle left): Tall grass, water, and birds → This is marshes.
4. Fourth image (middle right): Blue water with waves → This is the ocean.
5. Fifth image (bottom left): Open land with scattered trees and grass → This is grassland.
6. Sixth image (bottom right): Sand, palm trees, bright sun → This is a desert.
✔ Answers for Left Page:
- Cave
- Forest
- Marshes
- Ocean
- Grassland
- Desert

We are given 10 animals:
- Lion
- Arctic wolf
- Camel
- Octopus
- Tiger
- Moose
- Monkey
- Shark
- Giraffe
- Tortoise
And five habitat columns:
- Desert
- Forest
- Ocean
- Grassland
- Arctic
Now, let’s classify each animal:
| Animal | Habitat | Reason |
|--------------|----------------|--------|
| Lion | Grassland | Lions live in savannas and grasslands (Africa). |
| Arctic wolf | Arctic | Lives in the Arctic tundra. |
| Camel | Desert | Adapted to hot, dry deserts. |
| Octopus | Ocean | Lives in the sea. |
| Tiger | Forest | Tigers live in forests, especially tropical and temperate forests. |
| Moose | Forest | Found in boreal forests (cold regions). |
| Monkey | Forest | Monkeys live in tropical rainforests. |
| Shark | Ocean | Lives in oceans and seas. |
| Giraffe | Grassland | Found in African savannas and grasslands. |
| Tortoise | Grassland / Desert | Some tortoises live in grasslands or deserts (e.g., desert tortoise), but most are in dry grassy areas. For this context, we’ll place it under Grassland or Desert, depending on species. Since it's often associated with dry areas, Desert is acceptable. But many live in grasslands too. We'll go with Grassland as a general category unless specified otherwise. |
But note: Tortoise can be in Desert or Grassland — since the word bank includes both, but desert is more specific for some tortoises (like the desert tortoise).
Let’s make accurate placements based on common habitats:
- Tortoise: Often found in desert or grassland. In educational contexts, desert is commonly used for tortoises like the desert tortoise. So we'll assign it to Desert.
Now, fill the table:
| Desert | Forest | Ocean | Grassland | Arctic |
|--------|--------|-------|-----------|--------|
| Camel | Tiger | Octopus | Lion | Arctic wolf |
| Tortoise | Moose | Shark | Giraffe | |
| | Monkey | | | |
Wait — we have 10 animals, and only 9 cells filled so far.
Let’s double-check:
- Camel → Desert ✔
- Tortoise → Desert ✔
- Tiger → Forest ✔
- Moose → Forest ✔
- Monkey → Forest ✔
- Octopus → Ocean ✔
- Shark → Ocean ✔
- Lion → Grassland ✔
- Giraffe → Grassland ✔
- Arctic wolf → Arctic ✔
So now, let’s organize them properly in the table:
| Desert | Forest | Ocean | Grassland | Arctic |
|--------|--------|-------|-----------|--------|
| Camel | Tiger | Octopus | Lion | Arctic wolf |
| Tortoise | Moose | Shark | Giraffe | |
| | Monkey | | | |
✔ That fills all 10 animals.
Note: The tortoise is placed in Desert because it's a common example of a desert-dwelling animal. If the tortoise were a box turtle, it might be in forest, but in most such worksheets, it's associated with dry areas.
