All over the world animals and people spend a significant amount of time and energy providing shelter for themselves. Animals use many kinds of shelters. Foxes burrow into the ground. Beavers build mud-and-stick lodges in shallow streams. Some bears hibernate through the winter in the hollows of rocky cliffs or in holes in the ground. Apes build themselves nests of twigs in trees for protection while they sleep.

Human shelters also take many forms. People may build huts of mud and branches roofed with leaves. They may live in houses of wood, brick, or stone, or in huge apartment buildings of steel, concrete, and glass. They may use movable shelters such as tents, houseboats, and trailers or even recreational vehicles (RVs).
