Adaptations in Various Habitats

The video tutorial covers terrestrial habitats, focusing on marsh, forest, grassland, and arid land. It explains their characteristics, adaptive features of plants and animals, and food chains. The marsh is highlighted as a transitional habitat, while forests are noted for their tall trees and canopy. Grasslands, or savannahs, are dominated by grasses, and arid lands are characterized by water scarcity. The tutorial aims to help students identify and describe these habitats and understand the adaptations of organisms within them.
