Habitat of normal environmental conditions on the earth is called normal terrestrial habitat. 

The following are the characteristics of the animals found in this type of habitat: 

1. They have legs for movement such as horse, deer, cows etc. But many animals do not have legs, but their body is muscular, which allows them to creep on the ground such as snakes.

2. A long tail found in monkeys is helpful in climbing on the trees, maintaining balance and provide grip on branches,

3. Giant animals such as elephants due to their heavy body and short neck cannot easily bend, therefore, it could not hold food by forelimbs hence it uses its long proboscis for breaking leaves and branches, pick up food from the land and protect it from enemies.

4. Giraffe’s neck is adapted to get its food from tall trees.

5. Carnivorous animals such as Lion, cat, leopard etc. have more developed canine teeth in mouth to tear prey.

6. Deer, hare, niglai, horse etc., have well developed incisors to chew food.
