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! 🐕
Animals live where their bodies work best! 🌍 Fish have streamlined bodies and gills to extract oxygen from water. They’d struggle on land because their gills would dry out. 🐟
Land animals, like deer or rabbits, have lungs to breathe air and strong legs to move. They’d have trouble swimming all the time! 🦌
Some animals, like frogs, can live both places! They start life in water (as tadpoles) and later adapt to land. 🐸
Animals evolve over millions of years to survive in specific environments. This is called adaptation. 🧬
Aquatic animals (like dolphins or sharks) have:
- Gills to extract oxygen from water.
- Streamlined bodies to reduce drag.
- Blubber or scales for temperature control. 🌊
Terrestrial animals (like elephants or birds) have:
- Lungs to process air.
- Limbs for movement (legs, wings).
- Fur or feathers for insulation. 🌳
Some species, like amphibians, transition between water and land during their life cycle due to evolutionary history. 🔄
