What you’ll learn

  1. Wild AnimalsExplain that wild animals find their own food and shelter, and should be watched from a distance.Wild animals live in nature on their own, finding their own food and shelter. Lions, deer, and foxes are wild. Because they are not tame, we watch wild animals from a distance to keep everyone safe.

In return, they help people: cows give milk, hens give eggs, and sheep give wool. People keep farm animals for the useful things they provide.
  3. Pets We LoveExplain that pets are kept for company, and sort animals into wild, farm, and pet groups.Pets are animals we keep at home for company and love, like dogs and cats. We care for them with food, water, and safety. Now you can sort any animal into wild, farm, or pet.
