In the monsoons, you may find many more plants and animals around. Where did these new plants and animals come from? Why could you not see them earlier?
Answer
We find many more plants in the monsoon season because during monsoon, rains brings nutrients and moisture. Thus, seeds start growing into new plants. We find many animals like snails, earthworms and snakes during the monsoon season because these animals live deep inside the soil and when the soil gets wet, they come out.

Animals choose to live near plants because of the following reasons → Plants provide shelter to the animals. For example, squirrels live in tree hollow. → Plants provide food to animals. For example, elephants eat grass, caterpillars eat leaves, etc. → Plants protect the animals from their enemies. For example, chameleon can hide in green leaves and change its colour.
