Animals tend to live naturally in specific areas. Different kinds of plants grow naturally in different areas too. Plants and animals will choose where they live mostly because of the water, food and climate of a specific are. The physical environment also plays a part in an organism's choice of habitat, for example, plants might prefer certain types of soil to grow in. You can easily see if a plant does not like to grow in a specific area - it will stay small and have few leaves. If a plant is in an area that it likes, it will grow big and strong and have lots of leaves. The place that a plant or animal lives in is called a habitat .

Some plants and animals choose to live in the hot, dry desert. These plants and animals do not need as much water as other types of plants and animals.
Some animals and plants live in a forest or cave habitat because they prefer cooler, shady areas.
In South Africa, there are many forest areas.
There used to be many wild elephants that lived in the Knysna forest in the Western Cape. But today there are hardly any left as lots were killed by humans. Their forest habitat has also decreased in size due to humans moving in, so the numbers of the elephants have decreased.
