Most common shelled animals that one would think of live in an aquatic habitat. This is true of many crustaceans, mollusks, snails, etc. There are also shelled animals, such as some crabs and tortoises, that live most if not all of their lives on land. If you want to get a little more technical, technically, many insects are 'shelled' too meaning that they do not have an endoskeleton (internal skeleton like mammals and birds). Instead, they have what is called an exoskeleton (i.e. a 'shell' of sorts on the outside of their bodies.) Insects with exoskeletons include grasshoppers, cockroaches, beetles, etc. Most of these animals live their entire lives in a backyard kind of habitat or a wooded area. They live in grasses, trees, on shrubs, etc.
