Question
i need to make a niche for my imaginary animal project. how do i do it??

Answer
Hi Destiny
The niche of an organism is its relationship to it's environment. It is usually expressed as its food relationships.  For example a hawks niche is the rodent eating niche.
What you have to do is decide how your animal gets its energy (what it eats) and also the physical conditions under which your animal survives. What temperature does it need. How much water and oxygen does it need etc.
Let me know if you need more information
