To solve the problem, we need to match each animal with its corresponding description based on their needs. Let's analyze each animal and its description step by step:
---
Animal 1:
-
Description: "Saves seeds and fills her cheeks."
-
Matching Animal: This description matches a
squirrel. Squirrels are known for gathering and storing seeds in their cheek pouches.
---
Animal 2:
-
Description: "Uses his trunk to scoop up water and food."
-
Matching Animal: This description matches an
elephant. Elephants use their trunks to pick up water and food.
---
Animal 3:
-
Description: "Has a beak and pecks grain."
-
Matching Animal: This description matches a
chicken. Chickens have beaks and peck at grains and other food.
---
Animal 4:
-
Description: "Eats ants and moves in colonies."
-
Matching Animal: This description matches an
antelope. However, this is incorrect. The correct match should be an
ant or
termite, but since the image shows an antelope, it might be a mislabeling. For the sake of matching the image, we'll assume the question meant "antelope" as a general grazing animal that eats grass (not ants).
---
Animal 5:
-
Description: "Builds a nest using twigs and leaves."
-
Matching Animal: This description matches a
bird. Many birds build nests using twigs and leaves.
---
Animal 6:
-
Description: "Lives in burrows and hibernates in winter."
-
Matching Animal: This description matches a
bear. Bears dig burrows and hibernate during winter.
---
Final Matching:
1.
Squirrel — Saves seeds and fills her cheeks.
2.
Elephant — Uses his trunk to scoop up water and food.
3.
Chicken — Has a beak and pecks grain.
4.
Antelope — Eats ants and moves in colonies. (Note: This might be a mislabel; it should ideally be an ant or termite.)
5.
Bird — Builds a nest using twigs and leaves.
6.
Bear — Lives in burrows and hibernates in winter.
