Examples of habitat in a Sentence

1. Haribhadra Acharya:

   Chitwan( Chitwan National Park) is a major habitat for rhinos in Nepal but we have translocated them to( other parks) to make an alternate population and( as a result) the population has increased in those parks, and in Chitwan as well.

2. Martin Qvarnström:

   Although Silesaurus appears to have ingested numerous individuals of Triamyxa coprolithica, the beetle was likely too small to have been the only targeted prey, instead, Triamyxa likely shared its habitat with larger beetles, which are represented by disarticulated remains in the coprolites, and other prey, which never ended up in the coprolites in a recognizable shape. So it seems likely that Silesaurus was omnivorous, and that a part of its diet was comprised of insects.

3. Corrie Moreau:

   Although I know there are some people interested in potentially resurrecting this species, I think we have a long way to go before we would be able to actually do this, it would require significant time and financial resources to not only recapitulate its genome, but also establish the required host plants for the larvae and native symbiotic ants. During this time of a global insect decline, I would prefer to see our resources put towards saving those species already endangered or protecting critical habitat.

4. Andrew Chin:

5. Andy Blue:
