Ecosystems
... • A place an organism lives is called its habitat. Habitat can be thought of as a species’ address. – Example: Sierra de Agalta is habitat for howler, spider, and white throated capuchin monkeys. – The Patagonia is habitat for guanacos, Andean condors, ñandú, and pumas. A ñandú, also known as Darwin ...
