Question types: Choose the right animal

Rule: Animal groups

Mammals have fur or hair and feed their young on milk. Birds have feathers and a beak and lay eggs.

Reptiles have dry, scaly skin. Amphibians have moist skin, and their tadpoles live in water.

Fish breathe through gills and have fins. Insects have six legs, spiders eight.

Example: A bat flies, but it is a mammal: it has fur and feeds its young on milk.

Watch out: Whales and dolphins are not fish but mammals: they breathe with lungs and feed their young on milk.
