Animal groups - Free Printable

Here is the correct TRUE or FALSE evaluation for each statement, along with a clear explanation:

---

✔ 1. The animals need food, water, air, shelter and space to live.
→ TRUE

Explanation: All living animals require basic survival needs: food for energy, water for hydration and bodily functions, air (oxygen) for respiration, shelter for protection from predators and weather, and space to move, grow, and reproduce. This is true across all animal species.

---

✘ 2. A mammal has feathers in their body.
→ FALSE

Explanation: Mammals are characterized by having fur or hair, not feathers. Feathers are unique to birds. For example, dogs, cats, and humans are mammals — they have hair, not feathers.

---

✔ 3. Mammals drink milk when they are babies.
→ TRUE

Explanation: One defining feature of mammals is that females produce milk to feed their young. Baby mammals (called “infants” or “young”) nurse from their mothers shortly after birth. This is true for humans, cows, whales, etc.

---

✔ 4. All birds have two wings and a beak.
→ TRUE

Explanation: While some birds may have lost the ability to fly (like ostriches or penguins), they still possess two wings (even if modified). All birds also have a beak (or bill), which is used for feeding, grooming, and other behaviors. This is a universal trait among birds.

---

✘ 5. Fish live in a forest.
→ FALSE

Explanation: Fish are aquatic animals and live in water — oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds, etc. Forests are land-based ecosystems. While some fish might be found in flooded forests during rainy seasons (e.g., Amazon floodplain fish), they do not “live” in forests as their primary habitat. So this statement is generally false.

---

✔ 6. Amphibians can live on land and water.
→ TRUE

Explanation: Amphibians (like frogs, toads, and salamanders) typically spend part of their life in water (as larvae, e.g., tadpoles) and part on land (as adults). They have permeable skin that requires moisture, so they often live near water but can also move on land. This dual-life adaptation is what “amphibian” means — “double life.”

---

✘ 7. An insect is an animal with 4 legs, fins and hard shell.
→ FALSE

Explanation: Insects are invertebrates with six legs, not four. They do not have fins (those are for fish/aquatic animals), and while many have a hard exoskeleton (which could be called a “hard shell”), it’s not the same as a turtle’s shell or a crustacean’s. Also, insects don’t have fins at all. So this statement is incorrect in multiple ways.

📌 Note about the last instruction:
> “Take the animals, by lines, to classify them in the corresponding group.”

Since no actual animals are listed or shown in the image you provided, we cannot complete this classification task. If you can provide a list or image of specific animals, I’d be happy to help classify them into groups (mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, insects, etc.)!

Let me know if you’d like to add that part! 🐘🐦🐟🐸🐞
