3. TYPES OF ANIMALS Some animals are tamed. They live near us and and are useful to us. They are called domestic animals.

4. Some animals live in forest. They cannot be tamed. They are called wild animals.

5. Terrestrial Animals Terrestrial animals  are  animals  that live predominantly or entirely on  land  (e.g., cats, ants, spiders), as compared with aquatic  animals , which live predominantly or entirely in the water (e.g., fish, lobsters, octopuses), or amphibians, which rely on a combination of aquatic and  terrestrial  habitats (e.g., frogs and many more.

6. Aerial Animals  Examples of  aerial animals  are birds like vultures, albatross, flamingoes; insects like monarch butterfly; marsupials like bats;  animals  like flying squirrels. ...  Aerial animals  are those that can soar, fly or glide naturally in the air.

7. Amphibian Animals Amphibians  are small vertebrates that need water, or a moist environment, to survive. The species in this group include frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. All can breathe and absorb water through their very thin skin.  Amphibians  also have special skin glands that produce useful proteins.

8. Aquatic Animals An  aquatic animal  is an  animal , either vertebrate or invertebrate, which lives in the water for most or all of its lifetime. Many insects such as mosquitoes, mayflies, dragonflies and caddisflies have  aquatic  larvae, with winged adults.

9. ANIMAL HOMES Different animals have different kinds of homes. Like bird lives in a nest, cow lives in a shed, ant lives in an anthill, ETC. Bird lives in a nest Lion lives in a den Rabbit lives in a burrow

10. Food From Animals We get foods such as meat , eggs , honey , milk , cheese , butter , and curd from from animals.

11. What Animals Eat ? Animals cannot make their own food. Therefore they depend on plants and other animals for food. Based on the food they eat, animals can be grouped as: Carnivores Omnivores Scavengers Decomposers Herbivores

12. Herbivores Animals that eat only eat Plant and plant products are called Herbivores . Cows, Buffaloes, giraffes, deer, horses and butterflies are common herbivores.

13. Carnivores Animals that eat only the flesh of other animals are called carnivores. Lions, tigers, vultures, owls, eagles, and snakes are common carnivores.

14. Omnivores Animals that eat both plants and animals are called omnivores. Bears, crows, raccoons, and human beings are omnivores.

15. Scavengers Animals that feed on dead animals are called scavengers. They do not hunt animals but eat the animals which are already dead. Vultures and Jackals are examples of scavengers.

16. Decomposers Certain living organisms act on dead plants and animals and break them down into simple substances that mix with soil. These are called decomposers. Fungi and Bacteria are examples.
