Evolution is how animals and plants change over a very long time! π±π¦ Imagine a tiny dinosaur turning into a big birdβthat's evolution!
Animals and plants slowly change to fit better in their homes. Some grow longer legs to run fast, or change colors to hide from danger!
People can't fly like birds because we don't have wings! π¦ Birds have special wings and light bodies that help them soar in the sky. We have arms and legs, which are great for walking, running, and playing, but not for flying. π
Also, birds have strong muscles to flap their wings very fast. Our arms aren't strong enough to lift us up like that. But donβt worryβpeople invented airplanes to fly high in the sky! βοΈ
The fastest animal in the world is the cheetah! π It can run as fast as a car on the highwayβup to 70 miles per hour (112 km/h)! That's faster than any other animal on land.
Cheetahs have long legs and a flexible spine that helps them stretch really far when they run. They also have special claws that grip the ground like running shoes!
The slowest animal is the three-toed sloth! π¦₯ It moves so slowly that algae can grow on its fur, making it look green! Sloths live in trees and take their time to eat, sleep, and even move.
