What Are Animals? 

Animals are living beings living on this planet just like humans. These creatures need food, water, and shelter to exist. They usually walk on all four limbs, although some of them climb trees, swim, hop and fly. 

Types of Animals

Animals are divided into two types - wild animals and domestic animals.

• Wild Animals are those animals who live in the nature or wild. They love to stay in the forest. Nature is the shelter for these wild animals. Examples of wild animals are tigers, lions, deers, rhinoceroses, etc.

• Domestic Animals are those animals which you commonly see around. These animals can be kept in homes as pets. Examples of domestic animals are dogs, cats, goats, etc.
