ODS Curriculum - The Hike - The Edge page finished. Transferred with minimal changes from previous animals curriculum site.

Living on the Edge

What do you notice about this area? There are two different types of habitat.

An edge is an area where two different habitats come together. Look at this edge. Food can grow well in the open spaces where there is more sunlight. Shelter is easier to find in the brushier spaces.
