Habitat

Habitat names the specific kind of place a species actually lives. Wikipedia notes the giant panda "lives exclusively in six montane regions in a few Chinese provinces at elevations of up to 3,000 m," a narrow habitat that has shaped both its diet and its conservation status. This dimension groups species that depend on the same kind of habitat.

Most reptiles are oviparous with shelled eggs, although several species of squamates are viviparous, as were some extinct marine reptile clades.
