main habitat


Explanation:
Habitat on wikipedia.org (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitat_(ecology))
A habitat (which is Latin for "it inhabits") is an ecological or environmental area that is inhabited by a particular animal or plant species.[1][2] It is the natural environment in which an organism lives, or the physical environment that surrounds (influences and is utilized by) a species population.
