THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

A very warm welcome to all my viewers. Hope you had a nice time last week. I stayed home most of the time last week and refreshed my mind after a long time. I feel like home is the most comfy place every in this world. What is your your comfy place? Don't forget to leave your replies on the comment box. 

"Home" is the most comfortable place to stay. Our home is where family, love, peace and joy resides. I think everyone of us loves to stay home than being out. Our house is comfortable for us because we have built it and designed it for our ease. Similar things we can't expect in the outside world. Hence there is no doubt in me saying 'there's no place like home'. In the same way, even our animals are comfortable in the house built by itself and designed for its ease. Every species in this world has its own comfortable habitat. So in today's article, let me share you where does some of the animals live.
