What’s That Habitat?
A fun introduction to the basics we all need to survive.
By Remy Rodden

What’s that? Habitat ! C’est quoi? L’habitat !
What’s that? Habitat ! C’est quoi? L’habitat !
Habitat, habitat is where it’s at

Now every living creature needs a place to roam
We all need a shelter we can call our home
We’ll die without food and water, it’s as simple as that
Put it all together and it’s called habitat

Food! (Food!) Water! (Water!) Shelter! (Shelter!) Space! (Space!) (3X)
Habitat, habitat is where it’s at

Just think about that beaver he’s in water all the time
He stockpiles leaves and branches all through the summertime
He stores them under water and in the winter he stays fat
’Cos they’re under the ice outside his lodge and that’s his habitat

Chorus

Now a grizzly bear needs lots of space to find all the food she needs
To feed herself and her cubs real well with fish, raw meat and berries
She gets her water from the lakes and streams and by the autumn she’s so fat
She stays in her den, doesn’t eat all winter and that’s her habitat

Chorus
