LET’S
REVISE

• The place where animals live, feed and reproduce is called their habitat.
• Fish are adapted to live in water. For that they have a streamlined body, fins to swim

and gills for breathing in water.
• Animals that live both in water and on land are called amphibians.

• Different animals have different food habits.

• Animals have different organs like wings, legs, webbed feet and flippers for movement.
• Birds have a streamlined body, hollow bones and light weight feathers that help them to fly.

• In response to seasonal changes, animals move over to large distances and this is called
migration.
