Animals are living things that can move, eat, and grow. Some animals, like cats and dogs, live with people, and we call them pets.
Other animals, like lions and elephants, live in the wild. Animals have different habitats—this means the places they live.
Fish live in water, birds fly in the sky, and rabbits live on land. Animals need food to stay alive. Some eat plants (we call them herbivores), some eat other animals (carnivores), and some eat both (omnivores). Animals are important because they help keep nature balanced.
From tiny ants to giant whales, each animal has a special role in the world!
