Habitats

1. Habitats

Most animals that live on rocky shores have special habitats where they can survive the best.

Match the name of the animal to the habitat it prefers, then colour the animal, cut it out and tape it next to its name:

Always underwater, usually below the low tide mark S______________________________	Green Sea Anemone
On damp rocks and in pools between the low and high tide marks Z______________________________	Zebra Top Shell
In rock pools G______________________________	Sea Urchin
Very high up on the shore on rocks that are usually dry N______________________________	Limpet
Clinging to rocks between the high and low tide marks L______________________________	Noddiwink
In cracks and under rocks above the low tide mark R______________________________	Pink Surf Barnacle
