Let me work through this problem step by step.
I need to sort the animals into two categories: Land animals and Water animals.
Looking at each animal:
1.
Dolphin - Lives in water (ocean) → Water animal
2.
Octopus - Lives in water (ocean) → Water animal
3.
Clownfish - Lives in water (ocean/coral reefs) → Water animal
4.
Owl - Lives on land (trees/forests) → Land animal
5.
Seahorse - Lives in water (ocean) → Water animal
6.
Rabbit - Lives on land → Land animal
7.
Camel - Lives on land (desert) → Land animal
8.
Deer - Lives on land (forests) → Land animal
9.
Seal - This is tricky! Seals spend time both in water AND on land. They hunt in water but rest on land. However, they are primarily marine mammals that live most of their lives in water → Water animal
10.
Narwhal - Lives in water (Arctic ocean) → Water animal
11.
Elephant - Lives on land → Land animal
12.
Lion - Lives on land → Land animal
Let me double-check my sorting:
Land animals:
- Owl ✓
- Rabbit ✓
- Camel ✓
- Deer ✓
- Elephant ✓
- Lion ✓
Water animals:
- Dolphin ✓
- Octopus ✓
- Clownfish ✓
- Seahorse ✓
- Seal ✓ (primarily aquatic)
- Narwhal ✓
That gives us 6 land animals and 6 water animals.
Final Answer:
Land animals: Owl, Rabbit, Camel, Deer, Elephant, Lion
Water animals: Dolphin, Octopus, Clownfish, Seahorse, Seal, Narwhal
