ANIMALS
All
plants
and
animals
are
living
organisms.
Both
plants
and
animals
need
certain
things
in
order
to
survive
and
use
certain
parts
and
structures
in
order
to
get
what
they
need
from
the
environment.
Animals
need
water,
food,
shelter,
and
oxygen
to
survive,
and
they
have
many
different
body
parts
to
get
these
things
they
need.
Lesson
Checkpoint:
What
are
four
things
an
animal
needs
to
survive?
Water
Animals
use
certain
body
parts
to
drink.
Animals
need
water.
Whereas
plants
take
in
water
through
their
roots,
animals
take
in
water
through
their
mouths
or
beaks.

Food
Animals
have
body
parts
to
help
them
catch
and
eat
the
particular
food
they
need.
When
an
animal
is
the
predator
trying
to
catch
its
prey
(which
is
the
animal
it
wants
to
eat),
these
characteristics
are
important.
When
an
owl
is
chasing
a
mouse
to
eat,
the
owl
is
the
predator
and
the
mouse
is
the
prey.
Here
are
some
examples
of
the
ways
different
species
use
their
physical
traits
to
get
and
eat
the
food
they
need.
•
An
owl
has
sharp
claws
for
catching
and
killing
its
prey.
•
A
humming
bird
uses
its
long
beak
to
get
nectar
out
of
tube
like
flowers.
An
elephant
use
its
trunk
to
pick
up
food
and
to
feed
it
into
his
mouth.
•
Tigers
and
lions
have
sharp
teeth
that
they
use
to
tear
and
chew
tough
meat.

example

body
part
an
animal
uses
to
eat?

Movement
Animals
have
different
body
parts
that
help
them
move.
For
example,
an
elephant
has
four
large
feet
to
support
its
very
large
body
and
help
it
move
quickly
and
surely.
A
duck
has
webbed
feet
for
faster
swimming.
A
monkey
has
long
arms,
long
legs,
and
even
a
tail,
for
moving
easily
through
the
dense
forests
on
tree
limbs
and
vines.
Protection
Animals
also
have
body
parts
that
serve
to
protect
them
from
predators
and
dangerous
conditions.
Here
are
some
examples:
•
A
turtle
has
a
shell
that
protects
its
soft
body
and
provides
a
hiding
place
•
A
porcupine
has
sharp
quills
that
keep
a
predator
from
harming
its
body
•
A
rattlesnake
uses
poisonous
venom
to
harm
its
prey
when
it
bites
•
A
skunk
has
a
strong
odor
that
it
releases
to
make
a
predator
leave
it
alone.
Lesson
Checkpoint:
What
do
many
snakes
have
that
they
use
as
protection
against
predators?

Shelter
Animals
need
shelter
to
survive,
too.
A
shelter
is
a
place
that
covers
and
protects
an
animal.
Lesson
Checkpoint:
Name
an
example
you
have
seen
in
nature
of
an
animal’s
shelter.
Reproduction
Reproduction
is
the
making
of
a
new
organism
from
living
organisms.
Animals
reproduce
and
have
their
young
in
different
ways.
Many
animals
have
live
births,
which
is
when
the
baby
or
babies
develop
inside
the
mother
and
then
the
mother
gives
birth
to
the
live
baby
or
babies.
Some
animals
give
birth
to
one
offspring,
or
baby,
at
a
time.
For
instance,
a
giraffe
usually
gives
birth
to
only
one
baby
at
a
time.
Other
animals
give
birth
to
more
than
one
offspring
at
a
time.
For
example,
cats
and
dogs
usually
give
birth
to
more
than
one
baby
at
a
time.

Checkpoint:

is
one
animal
that
has
a
live
birth?

Some
animals
lay
eggs
instead
of
having
live
births.
The
mother
lays
the
eggs,
the
offspring
develop
inside
the
eggs,
and
then
the
babies
hatch
when
they
are
fully
developed.
A
chicken
is
an
animal
that
lays
eggs.
Most
of
the
time
the
mothers
take
care
of
the
eggs
while
waiting
for
them
to
hatch
by
keeping
the
eggs
warm
and
by
protecting
them
from
any
danger.
Some
animal
dads
however
are
in
charge
of
taking
care
of
the
eggs.
For
example,
the
emperor
penguin
dads
take
care
of
the
eggs
and
protect
them
from
the
bitter
cold.

Checkpoint:
What
animal
dad
takes
care
of
their
young?
