Let’s go step by step to sort the animals correctly.
We have two boxes:
-
Animals Living on Land → These are animals that live mostly or entirely on land (forests, grasslands, savannas, etc.)
-
Animals Living in Water → These are animals that live in oceans, seas, rivers — they swim and breathe underwater or at the surface but need water to survive.
Now let’s look at each animal one by one:
1.
Dog – Lives with humans on land.
✔ Land
2.
Horse – Runs on fields and farms.
✔ Land
3.
Jellyfish – Floats in ocean water.
✘ Not land →
✔ Water
4.
Dolphin – Swims in oceans.
✘ Not land →
✔ Water
5.
Fish (silver fish) – Clearly lives in water.
✔ Water
6.
Whale – Huge sea mammal. Lives in ocean.
✔ Water
7.
Lion – King of the jungle/savanna.
✔ Land
8.
Seahorse – Tiny sea creature, swims in water.
✔ Water
9.
Elephant – Walks on land, even though it likes water, it doesn’t live *in* water.
✔ Land
10.
Zebra – Runs on African plains.
✔ Land
So now we group them:
Animals Living on Land:
- Dog
- Horse
- Lion
- Elephant
- Zebra
Animals Living in Water:
- Jellyfish
- Dolphin
- Fish
- Whale
- Seahorse
Double-check: All 10 animals are placed. No duplicates. Each fits its habitat.
Final Answer:
Animals Living on Land: Dog, Horse, Lion, Elephant, Zebra
Animals Living in Water: Jellyfish, Dolphin, Fish, Whale, Seahorse
