Enviornment and Habitat

What is your environment? First of all, environment is where an organism lives and obtains the needs for its survival. Your habitat also provides you with resources that you need to live in the given area. In a certain environment, there could a community or a population. Community is where all the different organisms live together in a given area where in a population, the same species, or same types of organisms live together. Aside from this, not many organisms can adapt to new habitats whereas humans can. An example of this would be that if an architect was to design a new home for the cheetahs in a zoo, then he would have to now the environment the cheetahs live in. Since the cheetahs cannot adapt to a new habitat, the architect would have to design a home with the resources found in their natural environment. After learning about environments and different habitats I am really interested in learning more. This topic was very pleasing and I hope to learn more about it.
