Words to know and Index

Why copy animals?

Animals are able to adapt, or change to suit, the habitats

in which they live. They find new ways to move, find food,

and keep warm or cool in different kinds of climate .

They adapt to the changes in their lives to stay alive.

People also adapt to make their lives easier. They have

learned many of the things they do from animals.

Long ago, people dressed in the furs

of animals to keep warm. Today, people

dress in animal costumes for fun.

They also copy animal fur

patterns on some clothes

they design (see page 12).

Flying takes birds from one

place to another much faster

than walking or running.

People watched birds and

wanted to fly too, so they

could travel more quickly.

They invented airplanes by

copying birds. Airplanes

People watched birds to learn how

to fly so they could travel more

quickly, too. This is how the airplane

was invented. Where is the farthest

place you have flown?

Copying their moves

People learned to fly and glide

by copying birds. They also

copied other ways that animals

move. People walk, run, hop,

crawl, jump, leap, climb, and

swim. Which animals move

in these ways?

One girl is leaping

over another.

Which animal are

they copying?

This girl has climbed a tree

and is hanging by her arms

and legs the way the raccoon

above is doing. What other

animals can do this?

Moving in water

Dolphins have fins and

flippers for swimming. This

diver also has flippers. His
