LIFE ZONES
Not all animals live in the same habitat. Some animals live in the prairies of
Colorado and would not be able to survive high in the mountains. Of course,
many of the animals that you would find living in the mountains would not be
able to survive living in a stream. Scientists have come up with a system to
label the different areas where plants and animals live. Colorado is divided
up into several life zones and by knowing the different life zones you can
identify the various plants and animals that may live in each life zone.
ON THE NEXT PAGE IS A LIST OF COLORADO ANIMALS THAT LIVE IN
DIFFERENT LIFE ZONES IN OUR STATES. WRITE ON THE LINE NEXT
TO THE ANIMAL NAME THE LIFE ZONE WHERE YOU EXPECT THE
ANIMAL TO LIVE.
