Environment + context
Habitat is context, not a shortcut to identity.
Place species in broad environmental contexts, then inspect how different structures and movements operate there. The page does not imply that all animals sharing “marine” or “terrestrial” labels face identical conditions.

These environmental facets are deliberately broad navigation labels assembled for this ICU workbench. They are not formal biome classifications and should not be used as species-distribution maps.
