Where Will My Animal Live? An Animal Habitat Project.

You will be given a description of a made up animal with specific adaptations. You will have to then determine the ideal habitat for it based on it’s features, and make a 3D diorama that represents it, and will work harmoniously with the adaptations of your animal. Then, you will write a story that explains what kind of animal it is, what it’s adaptations are, where it lives, and how it’s features helps it to survive in it’s environment.
