Animals...

They need:

• Water: All animals need water. Most animals live on land although some of them live in water; they are aquatic animals like fishes and dolphins. 

• Food: All animals eat other living things. Depending of what kind of food they eat, we can classify animals in Herbivores (eat plants), carnivores (eat other animals) and omnivores (eat plants and animals).

• The right temperature: Some animals live in very hot places and other animals live in very cold places. Their bodies are adapted to this habitat

Classification of animals
We can classify animals using different criteria:

• If they have skeleton: Vertebrates or Invertebrates
• the way they are born: viviparous or oviparous
• The food they eat: herbivores, carnivores or omnivores.
• The way they move: walk, fly, swim or crawl along the ground
