The PDF below contains information about eight animals. These are the Arctic fox, camel, walrus, red panda, carpenter ant, dolphin, cactus and water lily. Each page shows a photo of the animal, its name and four different ways they are adapted to living in their habitat.

How to use this resource:

• Cut out the rectangles on each page, jumble them up and use them as a matching activity.
• Share the PDF on a large display and use it as a starting point for learning about how animals are adapted to particular habitats.
• Print the pages and use them as a reference resource during your Science activities.
• Challenge your children to make a similar page based on a different animal.
• Ask your students to find out if the animals have other adaptations that aren’t included on each page.
• Display the pages as posters on a classroom display board.
• Use the pages for shared / guided reading activities.
