All animals and plants need a home.<br />
Every animal and plant species needs a home in order to survive. These special homes<br />
for wildlife (habitats) provide food, water, shelter from the environment and<br />
predators, and space to live in. Some animals and plants can live almost anywhere,<br />
while other species need a very specific place to live. For example, the House<br />
Sparrow can live in a city, a forest or even a desert, but a Great Blue Heron needs a<br />
special marsh habitat to survive.<br />
Buffalo Bayou is home for Houston wildlife.<br />
In cities, such as Houston, animals and plants have a hard time finding their natural<br />
habitats. Many natural places have been destroyed by streets, buildings and parking<br />
lots. But, there is one very special habitat that is protected for wildlife in Houston.<br />
This is Buffalo Bayou. Buffalo Bayou’s waters, prairies and forests provide safe<br />
homes for the wild plants and animals who share our city with us. Let’s spend some<br />
time learning about our wild neighbors and how we can help protect their homes.<br />
What do we all need in our habitats?<br />
