There are many different types of animals, and they live in different places like forests, homes, and water. Today, we will learn about two types of animals: wild animals and domestic animals.—Wild AnimalsWild animals live in forests, jungles, or grasslands, where they find their own food and shelter.
These animals are not taken care of by humans.Examples of Wild Animals:Lion: Lives in the jungle and is known as the king of the jungle.Elephant: The largest land animal with a long trunk.Zebra: Known for its black and white stripes.

They are cared for by people and often help with work or provide food.Examples of Domestic Animals:Dog: A friendly animal that can guard homes.Cow: Provides milk and helps on farms.Cat: A small animal often kept as a pet.—Basic Needs of AnimalsJust like humans, animals need certain things to survive. Here are the basic needs of animals:Food: Animals eat to get energy. Some eat plants, while others eat meat.Water: All animals need water to live.Shelter: Animals need a safe place to live. Wild animals find shelter in forests, while domestic animals live in homes or farms.—Activity1. Look at the pictures below and identify whether they are wild or domestic animals.2. Name the animals and discuss their basic needs.

Wild animals live in nature, while domestic animals live with humans. Remember, all animals need food, water, and shelter to survive.—HomeworkDraw two animals: one wild and one domestic.
