Summer vs Winter
Summer climate is very hot and Winter climate is cold.One day summer said I am the best climate for this world winter said no you are not the best climate in this world I am the best climate in this wolrd and summer said ok lets check who is best and winter said how you will check and summer said wait I will say and summer saw right side there a man was coming and summer said like this winter see there a man is coming here winter yes he is coming for that what will do summer said lets check with that man who is best he is wearing a sweater right in which climate he will open the sweater that climate will win is it ok winter , and winter said this ok I will win and then now it is winters turn when winter came that man did not removed the sweater because in winter climate we will get cold because we will wear sweaters and then it is summer climate when summer climate came that the man opened sweater then that summer won the challenge
so guys if you like this story please comment and also comment what type of stories you need with that i will write some stories which you need

diferent types of habitat and adaptive features of animals
Habitat
Different Types of Habitat
1. Forest Habitat
Tropical forest or Tropical rain forest
- Plants: Orchid, vine, moss, and fern.
- Animals: Bat, gorilla, monkey, sloth, macaw, and variety of insects.
Temperate forest
- Plants: Maple, oak, and elm.
- Animals: Fox bald eagle, mountain lion, bobcat, and black bear.
Boreal or Taiga forests
- Plants: Evergreen trees such as pine, fir, deer, etc.
- Animals: Wolf, lynx, fox, deer, wood packer, bat, and chipmunk.
2. Aquatic Habitat
- Freshwater habitat: Rivers, lakes, ponds, and streams are examples of freshwater habitat. Fish, frog, duck, lotus, and water lily are found in fresh water,
- Marine water habitat: Oceans and seas form the largest habitat on the planet. Some commonly found animals are whale, dolphins, sharks, octopus, starfish, jellyfish, seahorse, etc, and plants, seaweeds are the most common.
- Coastal habitat: Coastal habitat refers to the region where the land meets the sea.
- Estuaries: These places where the saline water of sea or ocean mixes with the fresh water of rivers. It is the home of marine animals like crab, oyster, worms, and waterfowl. Mangroves seaweeds and marsh grasses are plants found here.
- Coral reefs: These are the rock-like structure made from calcium carbonate by corals. They are also called ‘rain-forest of the sea’. Some are commonly found animals are corals, starfish, sea anemone, octopus, etc.
3. Grassland Habitat
4. Dessert Habitat
5. Mountainous and Polar Habitat
Adaptation
- Body
- Behavior
- Location
Adaptation In Tropical Forest
- Leaves of tropical rainforest trees have specialized tips.
- Due to the dense vegetation of rainforest, very little light is able to reach the forest floor. Plants growing in lower levels have big leaves to absorb as much sunlight as possible.
Adaptation for Temperate Forests
- Most trees are deciduous. They have thin, broad leaves that allow them to easily capture sunlight, which is required for making food.
- Trees shed their leaves in winter because leaves are not able to bear the freezing winter.
- Many animals either hibernate or migrate to warmer regions during winter.
- Some animals gather food during summer and store it for eating during winter when food is scarce.
Adaptation for Boreal Forests
- Trees have a conical shape that allows the snow to slide off easily.
- Trees have needle-like leaves. This kind of structure protects the leaves from damage.
- Many animals migrate to warmer regions during winter. Some animals hibernate during winter months.
- Some animals have a thick layer of fur or feather to protect them from cold.
Adaptation for Grasslands
- Grassland plants usually have flexible stems that bend instead of breaking when the wind is strong.
- Plants have strong roots that prevent winds from uprooting them.
- Plants have narrow or tiny leaves to reduce water loss.
- Some plants have roots that extend deep into the soil to absorb as much water as possible.
- Most grassland animals are able to run very fast. This ability also protects them grassland fire.
- Many grassland animals have skin shades of brown that makes them hard to spot among the dry, brown grass.
Adaptation for Deserts
- The leaves are modified as spines to minimize water loss.
- The stem is green, to make food for the plant.
- The stem is swollen and fleshy to store water.
- Cactus has a thick, waxy coating that prevents water loss and helps it to retain water.
- Desert animals have thick skin to prevent the loss of water from the body.
- Most of the desert animals have the capacity to store water and food. For example, a camel can tolerate extremely hot temperature due to the stored water in its body, which helps in cooling.
- Most of the small desert animals live in burrows to save themselves from fluctuation in temperature.
- Reptiles are well-suited to the desert climates. They get most of the water through their food and lose hardly any moisture from their skin.
Adaptations in Mountain Regions
- Mountain plants grow close to the ground to avoid being uprooted by strong winds.
- These plants also produce smaller leaves to prevent water loss.
- Some plants are also able to grow under a layer of snow.
- Some mountain animals hibernate or migrate to warmer areas during colder months.
- Small ears and tail minimize heat loss from the body.
- Padded feet help the polar bear to walk on the snow.
- Thick fur and a layer of fat under the skin protect the polar bear from cold.
Adaptations for Aquatic Habitats
- These plants have long, narrow stems. This prevents the plants from being carried away with the water current.
- Stems have air chambers that allow the aquatic plants to float in water leaves of plants such as lotus and water lily have a waxy coating that prevents them from rotting.
- Ducks have webbed feet that help them in swimming. They also have hollow bones that help them to stay afloat.
- Gills are special organs that help fish to breath underwater.
- They have streamlined body which allows them to swim fast by reducing resistance due to flowing water.
- Dolphins and whale have blowholes at the upper parts of their heads. They come to the water surface and breathe in air through the blowholes from time to time.
