Let’s Study
Observe different kinds of animals in your place. Are they all the same or
different? Why? Why not?

Fish lives in water. It swims, has scales for its body covering and eats marine
plants and small fishes.

Birds live in trees or stay in air most of the time. They fly, have feathers and eat
both plants and small insects.

 Snake lives on land. It crawls, has scales and eats other animals.

Lions live in forest. They run or walk, have fur and eat other animals.

Goats live on land. They run or walk, have fur and eat plants.
Thus:
 Different kinds of animals differ in many ways. They differ on their
habitats. The way they move, body coverings and the food that they eat.
