Question types: Where animals live

Rule: Animals around us

A bee lives in a hive, a swallow or blackbird in a nest, a fox in a den, an ant in an anthill, a spider on its web.

Farm and pet animals: a dog in a kennel, a horse in a stable, a cow in a cowshed, a hen in a henhouse.

Example: A blackbird builds its nest in a tree; a fox digs its den in the ground.

Watch out: A horse does not live in a cowshed but in a stable. A cow lives in the cowshed.
