Explore an urban habitat and the animals that live there.
Have you ever wondered what plants and animals live in urban habitats?
Well, keep your eyes peeled, we're off to find them!
Wow. There are lots of buildings and roads here.
But there are parks and gardens where plants can grow.
Like this dandelion. Dandelions make nectar that the bees use for food.
Like this one! Dandelions also make pollen that helps other dandelions to seed.
There are also animals in the city, like this fox.
It survives by eating not only slugs, spiders and worms, but also the food from our bins. Ooh yuk!
A hedgehog can curl itself into a spiky ball to protect itself from foxes.
This keeps it safe and stops the fox eating it.
Look at this bird, it's a pigeon!
It lives under bridges and on top of buildings. So it's right at home here.
So urban habitats are busy and noisy, but still full of life.
Oh, I need a lie down.
