Let’s think step by step:
We need to match each animal with the correct body covering it has.
1.
Fish – Fish live in water and have slippery, hard coverings on their skin called
scales. So, fish → scales.
2.
Cat – Cats are mammals and have soft, hairy coverings called
fur. So, cat → fur.
3.
Snail – Snails carry a hard outer case on their back for protection. That’s called a
shell. So, snail → shell.
4.
Rooster – Roosters are birds. Birds have
feathers covering their bodies. So, rooster → feathers.
Now let’s double-check:
- Fish → scales
✔
- Cat → fur
✔
- Snail → shell
✔
- Rooster → feathers
✔
All matches make sense based on what we know about animals.
Final Answer:
fish — scales
cat — fur
snail — shell
rooster — feathers
