📌 Final Answer Matching:
| Animal | Food |
|------------------|-------------|
| A LION | MEAT |
| AN ELEPHANT | LEAVES |
| A MONKEY | BANANAS |
| A TIGER | MEAT |
| SAMMY SNAKE | WORMS |
| A BIRD | WORMS |
| A GIRAFFE | LEAVES |
> Note: There are
two "LEAVES" images, which makes sense since both elephant and giraffe eat leaves.
> Also,
two "MEAT" images — one for lion and one for tiger.
>
"PIZZA" is not eaten by any of these animals in nature — it’s a distractor.
---
✔ So, drag and drop:
-
Lion & Tiger → MEAT
-
Elephant & Giraffe → LEAVES
-
Monkey → BANANAS
-
Snake & Bird → WORMS
> ⚠️ Pizza is not used — it's not natural food for any of these animals.
