Animals

Animals live everywhere on Earth. Insects, mammals,

reptiles, birds, and fish come in every color and shape

you can imagine. They hunt, mate, and build their homes

around the world.

Wild animals have fascinated people for thousands of

years. Their strength and beauty have inspired and awed

us. Their meat has served as food. Their furs have kept us

warm. Animal bones were even used to make some of the

first human tools.

Domesticated animals live on farms. They help with

herding sheep, producing milk, and making fertilizer .

Domesticated animals can also be our pets. Cats, dogs,

iguanas, and even mice can be pets. The animals we bring

into our homes can comfort and care for us. And we care

for them.

Wild and domestic animals all play a role in our world.

Humans are animals, too. But unlike most animals, we

have power to think and make choices. We can protect

and care for other animals.

Why are animals important to people

around the world?

In what ways are animals in danger?

How can we help animals?

Animals can be our best

friends or ferocious

predators, but they all need

our protection.

In the Wild

Energy flows throughout

the ecosystem in the

form of food.

Earths animals come in a wild assortment. You

know the long-necked giraffe and the harsh spikes of the

porcupine. But there are many other strange creatures we

are just discovering. In Africa, there is a spider that makes

a web stronger than a bulletproof vest! In the Gulf of

Mexico, biologists found an odd fish that walks on its fins.

Scientists are calling it the pancake batfish.

Even the smallest

animals are important.

Each wild animal plays a big role in our

environment . Larger animals eat smaller ones. Some

animals eat plants. This helps to spread seeds. All the

animals in an ecosystem are connected. Adding or

removing just one animal can destroy the balance.

Larger predators

gain energy from

the ecosystem in

many ways.

Fast Facts

Scientists discover new

species every week. And

they estimate there are

still millions of animals to

discover. Check out some of the

most extreme animals found so far.

Extremely Fast

The cheetah is the

fastest animal on land.

In the heat of the hunt,

it can run up to

miles per hour. Thats

the same speed as a car

on the freeway!

Extremely Big

As far as we know, the

blue whale is the largest

animal that has ever lived.

It can weigh over

tons, which is about as

much as a locomotive.

Extremely Weird

Extremely Small

The smallest snake in the

world is found on the island

of Barbados. It is as thin

as spaghetti. And it is only

about four inches long.

The leafy sea dragon

is a relative of the sea

horse. It lives in the

southern waters of

Australia. It is hard

to see because it looks

like floating seaweed.

Extremely

Colorful

Peacocks have

beautifully colored
