Summary Introduction
In ecology, the type of natural environment in which a specific species of organism survive is called as a habitat. The habitat is characterized by both biological and physical features. The habitat of the species is those places where it can obtain shelter, food and mates for the reproduction. The types of habitats include subtropical, tropical, temperate and polar.
