This document provides an overview of different types of animals categorized by their habitat and diet. It describes terrestrial animals that live on land, aerial animals that can fly or glide, amphibians that need both water and land to survive, and aquatic animals that live predominantly in water. The document also discusses different animal homes, foods obtained from animals, and how animals are grouped based on their diets as herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, scavengers, or decomposers.

3. TYPES OF ANIMALS
Some animals are tamed. They live near us and and
are useful to us. They are called domestic animals.

4. Some animals live in forest. They cannot be
tamed. They are called wild animals.

5. Terrestrial Animals
Terrestrial animals are animals that live predominantly or entirely
on land (e.g., cats, ants, spiders), as compared with aquatic animals,
which live predominantly or entirely in the water (e.g., fish, lobsters,
octopuses), or amphibians, which rely on a combination of aquatic
and terrestrial habitats (e.g., frogs and many more.

6. Aerial Animals
Examples of aerial animals are birds like vultures,
albatross, flamingoes; insects like monarch butterfly;
marsupials like bats; animals like flying squirrels.
... Aerial animals are those that can soar, fly or glide
naturally in the air.

7. Amphibian Animals
Amphibians are small vertebrates that need water, or a moist
environment, to survive. The species in this group include
frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. All can breathe and
absorb water through their very thin skin. Amphibians also
have special skin glands that produce useful proteins.

8. Aquatic Animals
An aquatic animal is an animal, either vertebrate or
invertebrate, which lives in the water for most or all of its
lifetime. Many insects such as mosquitoes, mayflies,
dragonflies and caddisflies have aquatic larvae, with winged
adults.

9. ANIMAL HOMES
Different animals have different kinds of homes. Like
bird lives in a nest, cow lives in a shed, ant lives in an
anthill, ETC.
Bird lives in a nest Lion lives in a den Rabbit lives in a burrow

10. Food From Animals
We get foods such as meat, eggs, honey, milk, cheese, butter,
and curd from from animals.

11. What Animals Eat ?
Animals cannot make their own food. Therefore they depend on
plants and other animals for food. Based on the food they eat,
animals can be grouped as:
Carnivores
Omnivores
Scavengers
Decomposers
Herbivores

12. Herbivores
Animals that eat only eat Plant and plant products
are called Herbivores .
Cows, Buffaloes, giraffes, deer, horses and butterflies
are common herbivores.

13. Carnivores
Animals that eat only the flesh of other animals are
called carnivores.
Lions, tigers, vultures, owls, eagles, and snakes are
common carnivores.

14. Omnivores
Animals that eat both plants and animals are called
omnivores.
Bears, crows, raccoons, and human beings are
omnivores.

15. Scavengers
Animals that feed on dead animals are called
scavengers. They do not hunt animals but eat the
animals which are already dead. Vultures and Jackals
are examples of scavengers.

16. Decomposers
Certain living organisms act on dead plants and
animals and break them down into simple substances
that mix with soil. These are called decomposers.
Fungi and Bacteria are examples.
