How would a polar bear do if you put it in the desert? Not well. But why? Why can't anything live anywhere? Well, this has to do with habitats and how animals (including humans) are suited for living in one place over another. In this episode, Sabrina talks about how these habitats form food webs and how those food webs help us understand a lot about the world.
This first series is based on 5thgrade science. We're super excited and hope you enjoy Crash Course Kids!
