How Well Do You Know Your Animals?

Alligators are primarily found in freshwater habitats such as swamps, marshes, and wetlands. These areas provide them with the ideal conditions for hunting and nesting. Swamps, in particular, offer a combination of water, vegetation, and prey that make them well-suited for alligator survival. While alligators may occasionally venture into other bodies of water, such as rivers or lakes, their main habitat is indeed a swamp.

Scorpions do not typically live in the rainforest. They are more commonly found in desert and arid regions. While there may be some species of scorpions that can survive in rainforest environments, it is not their typical habitat. Therefore, the statement "Scorpions live in the rainforest" is false.

The analogy in this question is comparing the relationship between humans and their homes to the relationship between animals and their shelter. Just as humans need homes for protection and comfort, animals also need shelter for the same reasons. Therefore, the correct answer is "shelter".
