Introduction:

The animal world is incredibly diverse, filled with many different species, each
with unique features and ways of living. Animals can be found in almost every
place on Earth, from the deepest oceans to the highest mountains. This
assignment will explain the main types of animals, where they live, and how they
survive in different environments.

Classification of Animals
Scientists classify animals into different groups based on their characteristics. The
main groups are mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates.
Each group has special traits that make them different from others.

1. Mammals
Mammals are animals that have fur or hair and are
warm-blooded, meaning they can keep their body
temperature steady. Most mammals give birth to
live babies instead of laying eggs. They also
produce milk to feed their young. Examples of
mammals include dogs, humans, and whales.

2. Birds
Birds are known for their feathers and wings, which
help them to fly, though some birds, like penguins
and ostriches, do not fly. Birds lay eggs and have
beaks instead of teeth. Examples include sparrows,
eagles, and parrots.
3. Reptiles
Reptiles are cold-blooded animals with scaly skin,
which helps them stay protected and avoid losing
water. Most reptiles lay eggs, though some give birth
to live young. Common reptiles include snakes, lizards,
and turtles.

4. Amphibians
Amphibians live part of their lives in water and part on
land. They usually start life as tadpoles in water and later
develop into adult forms that can live on land.
Amphibians have moist skin and include frogs, toads, and
salamanders.

5. Fish
Fish are animals that live in water and breathe through
gills. They have fins to help them swim. Fish come in
many different shapes and sizes and live in both
freshwater and saltwater. Examples are goldfish, tuna,
and sharks.

6. Invertebrates
Invertebrates are animals without a backbone. They
make up the majority of animal species. This group
includes insects like butterflies, arachnids like spiders,
and sea creatures like jellyfish and squid.
Habitats of Animals
Different animals live in different places called habitats, which provide food,
water, and shelter. Examples include forests, deserts, oceans, and grasslands.
Each animal has a preferred habitat that fits its needs and way of life.

Adaptations of Animals
Animals have special features and behaviors called adaptations that help them
survive. For example, camels have humps to store fat, allowing them to live in
deserts with little water. Birds migrate to warmer areas during winter to find
food.

Food Chains and Ecosystems


Animals are part of food chains in their ecosystems. Some animals eat plants
(herbivores), some eat other animals (carnivores), and some eat both
(omnivores). Together, they keep the ecosystem balanced, each playing an
important role.

Endangered Species
Some animals are endangered, meaning there are very few left. This is often due to
human activities like deforestation, pollution, and hunting. Endangered animals include
the tiger, giant panda, and sea turtles. Protecting these animals is important to keep our
planet healthy.

This assignment introduces the animal kingdom's beauty and diversity, emphasizing why
every animal, big or small, is valuable to nature.
