  1. A place where you buy up market furniture.


  2. Austrailia:

    The feral horse is found in many different habitats. One area that they are a great pest is in the alpine regions of Australia, south-east New South Wales and north-eastern Victoria. This area is called the ‘ Kosciusko National Park’ and is part of the Australian Alps. The Alps contains the highest point in Australia, Mt. Kosciusko. Numbers of the horses in the national park are around 3000 to 4000, and the approximate number in Australia is 337 000 to 600 000. The number in the Alps may not seem very threatening but only 1% of the Australian land is alpine. But alpine is not the only land that feral horses inhabit.

    United States

    Today most wild horse herds are restricted to far Northeast California, Eastern Oregon, Idaho, one small area of Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico, with a few on islands along the Eastern Seaboard. But they were once common in the Great Plains and Midwestern states.

    Today’s wild horses are a true American Melting Pot of horses, and with the help of Natural Selection, they are intelligent, sound-minded, sure-footed, and strong. Mustangs normally have excellent feet that often do not require shoes, and strong, hardy constitutions. Having had the benefit of life within a functional natural social unit, they are well-socialized and savvy.

    Once they overcome their natural fear of people, they can be trained to ride, drive, and perform, just like any other horse.

    Habitat: Wild horses lead a semi-nomadic lifestyle in the vast semiarid reaches of the West. They may roam over a few to several hundred, even a thousand or more, square miles, depending on the lushness of vegetation and the availability of water and shelter. They do not camp at their watering sites as do cattle and sheep, probably due to a survival instinct.

      

    Historically, wild horses have been removed, displaced from more productive rangelands with good water. Moreover, western lands continued to deteriorate because of overgrazing by cattle. Today, the habitat of most wild horses are public lands. In the west, these are desert scrublands with low rainfall and few water sources.

  3. Habitat just means 'place where they live'.

    So describe where you see a horse - - on wild moorland or open plain, where there is grass to eat, some shelter from wind and rain and water to drink.


  4. for all living and non living things land & soil is the habitat.
