Long, long ago, a big rock from space 🌠 crashed into Earth! It made a huge boom and lots of dust flew up into the sky. The sun couldn't shine, and it got very cold. The dinosaurs couldn't find food, and they slowly disappeared. 🦕💔
But don't worry! Some small animals survived, and now we have birds, which are like little dinosaur cousins! 🐦
Birds sing because they are happy and want to talk to each other! 🎶 Just like you sing when you're happy, birds do too. They use their songs to say "hello" to their friends or to tell other birds, "This is my home!"
Some birds sing in the morning to wake everyone up. It's like their way of saying, "Good morning, world!" 🌞
Bees make honey to have yummy food for themselves and their baby bees! 🍯
They collect sweet nectar from flowers and turn it into honey inside their hive. This way, they have something to eat when there are no flowers around, like in winter! ❄️
Snakes wiggle and slide like a slinky toy! 🐍 They use their strong muscles and scales to push against the ground and move forward. It's like swimming on land! 🌟
Their belly scales help them grip the ground, so they don't slip. Imagine sliding on your tummy—snakes are experts at it!
Some animals disappear forever because their homes change or people take too much from nature. 🌍🐾
For example, dinosaurs lived long ago, but now they are gone because a big rock from space hit the Earth!
Flowers smell nice to attract bees 🐝 and butterflies 🦋! They want these little friends to come and visit them. Some flowers don’t smell because they don’t need bees—they might use wind or other ways to spread their pollen. 🌬️
Imagine flowers are like little perfumes for insects! Some are sweet, and some don’t have any smell at all.
Animals talk in their own special ways! 🐶 Some use sounds like barks, meows, or roars. Others use their bodies, like wagging tails or flapping wings. Some even use smells to say "hello" or "this is my home!" 🌿
For example, dogs wag their tails when happy, and bees dance to show where flowers are! 🐝
Animals live in different places because their bodies are made for those places! 🐠 Some animals, like fish, have fins and gills to breathe underwater. They love swimming all day! 🏊♂️
Other animals, like dogs and cats, have legs and lungs to breathe air. They can run and play on land! 🐕
Some animals, like cats 🐱 and owls 🦉, can see in the dark much better than humans! They have special eyes that help them see when it's very dark outside.
Their eyes have a part called the tapetum lucidum (it's like a tiny mirror inside their eyes!) that reflects light and makes things brighter. That's why their eyes sometimes glow in the dark! 🌟
Some animals move to new places when the weather changes! 🐦 They fly or walk far away to find food or a warm home. Just like when you wear a coat in winter, animals need to find cozy places too!
For example, birds fly south when it gets cold, and then come back when it's warm again. 🌞
