Niche




A niche is a habitat where the organism thrives (it has everything it needs). The photo above is a bird that has the nests for its young, food, and shelter - this is the bird's niche. The tortoise has all the grass and rocks it needs. The Oakland Zoo tries to mimic the niche of each organism so the organisms survive and feel at home.
