You already know that our planet is inhabited by thousands of species of animals and plants. Each of them has its special characteristics, from the shape of its body to its favorite food. In the same way, all living beings depend on _______ a certain climate to live. Some like the cold; others of heat. Some need lots of sun; others, with little rain… So, penguins and polar bears enjoy the cold weather, but toucans, on the contrary, really like the heat. Frogs, on the other hand, prefer humid climates, while camels adapt very well to the dryness of the desert.
