Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn about where animals live. Just like us, animals have homes that keep them safe and cozy. Let’s explore some of these amazing animal homes together!
Imagine it’s raining outside. You feel safe inside your house, right? Animals need homes to keep them safe too. Their homes protect them from bad weather and other dangers.
Animal homes come in all shapes and sizes. Some are big, some are small, and they all look different. Let’s take a look at some common animal homes!
Have you ever seen a barn? It’s a big building where animals like cows, horses, goats, and sheep live. It’s like a cozy house for them!
Dogs often have their own little houses called doghouses. These are usually made of wood or plastic and keep them safe and dry.
Spiders make webs using special threads. These webs help them catch food. It’s like their own little trap and home!
Bees live in hives. They make these hives using wax from their bodies. Bees love living together in big groups inside their hives.
Some animals, like raccoons and squirrels, live in hollow trees. These trees have empty spaces inside, making them perfect homes.
Animals like snails and turtles carry their homes with them! Their shells are hard and protect them wherever they go.
Rabbits dig holes in the ground called burrows. These burrows keep them safe and warm. A group of burrows is called a warren.
Big animals like lions and bears live in caves. Caves are natural spaces underground that keep them safe from the weather.
Foxes, deer, and bears often live in dens. Dens are hidden shelters that keep them safe and secret.
Isn’t it amazing how animals have different kinds of homes? Each home is special and helps the animal live happily and safely. Next time you see an animal, think about where it might live!
Thanks for exploring with us today. We hope you had fun learning about animal homes. See you next time!
Animal Home Hunt: Go on a nature walk with a grown-up and try to find different animal homes. Look for bird nests in trees, spider webs in corners, or even a doghouse in your neighborhood. Draw a picture of each home you find and talk about why it is a good home for that animal.
Build Your Own Animal Home: Using materials like cardboard boxes, paper, and glue, create a model of an animal home. You could make a barn, a doghouse, or even a beehive. Think about what makes each home special and how it helps the animal stay safe.
Imagine and Share: Imagine you are an animal living in one of the homes we learned about. Write a short story or draw a comic strip about a day in your life. What do you do in your home? How does it keep you safe? Share your story or drawing with your class or family.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

[Applause]
Jack, it’s raining outside. You should turn off the TV now.
Yes, Joe, it’s raining outside and there is lightning in the sky. Don’t be afraid; you are safe here inside your home. See that little sparrow? She is also safe with her chicks inside the nest.
But what about animals? Do they have homes too? Once the rain stops, we will go out, and I will explain this to you and our friends.
Wow! I am so excited to see the homes of animals! Look carefully; some homes are small, some are big, and they look different from each other. Similarly, animal homes come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
Oh, I see! The environment in which an animal lives must provide water, food, shelter, and space. Remember, we were safe inside our home when it was raining. Similarly, animal homes must also make the animals feel protected from harsh weather, predators, and other threats.
Can you show me some of the most common ones?
Sure! Did you also hear a cow’s sound? There is a barn on the opposite side. Is that a cow’s home? I want to watch that!
Look at this cow in her barn. A barn is a large open space enclosed by walls and a ceiling. Horses, cows, goats, and sheep live in barns.
Oh, hi puppy! What are you doing here? I think there is a doghouse in the neighborhood.
Wow, such a beautiful doghouse! See, my new friend has taken us to show its house. Yes, the most common animals that live in houses are dogs and cats. These houses are usually made of wood or plastic.
Hey Jack, what are you doing here? See, that’s a web in the tree. Is there a web in the flowers too?
Yes, spiders spin webs with threads produced by their silk-spinning organs. When insects are trapped in the sticky silk, the spiders catch and eat them.
See, some honey bees are above. Is that their home?
Yes, bees and wasps make hives using wax produced inside their bodies. These cute insects like to live together in large numbers in the hives.
A honeybee was chasing me! I will hide in this empty hole.
Don’t worry; the bee is gone. That empty hole in the tree trunk is a hollow tree. There is a raccoon inside. Does it live in this hollow?
Yes, raccoons, squirrels, and owls all like to make their homes in hollow trees.
That’s a snail! I wanted to know where it lives. There is a turtle too. Many animals like snails and turtles, which have soft bodies, carry their homes with them. These homes are called shells, and the hard exterior of the shells helps protect the animals inside.
It would be so fun if we were able to carry our homes!
Let’s go to the other side. A beautiful rabbit is sitting here. Animals like rabbits dig into the ground to make their homes. These are called burrows.
[Music]
I think so many rabbits live here. I can see so many burrows!
Yes, you are right! A group of burrows is known as a warren.
Is this tree a home for fungi? It looks like a hollow log.
Yes, it might be because of the fungus. You know, skunks and weasels often like to make their homes in hollow logs.
Where do lions, tigers, and wolves live? I have seen in movies that they roam around in the forests, but where do they sleep and rest?
These animals live in caves. Caves provide safety, shelter, and protection from harsh climates. It is a natural hollow space underground.
These deer are going home. Where do they live?
Foxes, deer, and bears live in dens. Dens are usually either buried deep underground or built by the animal to create a secret shelter.
I have seen so many animal homes today!
Yes, let’s go home. It’s getting dark outside; we need to go to our home.
Thank you, Jill, for showing me the animal homes!
You are welcome! I hope you all enjoyed watching this video. See you in the next one! Bye-bye!
