Problem:
The task is to classify the given animals into three categories:
mammals,
fish, and
birds. The goal is to write each animal name into the appropriate group.
Solution:
#### Step 1: Understand the Categories
-
Mammals: Animals that are warm-blooded, have fur or hair, and typically give birth to live young (except for monotremes like the platypus).
-
Fish: Aquatic animals that breathe through gills and have scales.
-
Birds: Warm-blooded animals with feathers, beaks, and lay eggs.
#### Step 2: Classify Each Animal
We will go through each animal listed and determine which category it belongs to.
1.
lion: Mammal (warm-blooded, fur, gives birth to live young)
2.
shark: Fish (aquatic, gills, scales)
3.
bat: Mammal (warm-blooded, fur, gives birth to live young)
4.
guppy: Fish (aquatic, gills, scales)
5.
tuna: Fish (aquatic, gills, scales)
6.
pelican: Bird (feathers, beak, lays eggs)
7.
seal: Mammal (warm-blooded, fur, gives birth to live young)
8.
cow: Mammal (warm-blooded, fur, gives birth to live young)
9.
canary: Bird (feathers, beak, lays eggs)
10.
parrot: Bird (feathers, beak, lays eggs)
11.
bass: Fish (aquatic, gills, scales)
12.
seahorse: Fish (aquatic, gills, scales)
13.
whale: Mammal (warm-blooded, fur, gives birth to live young)
14.
sheep: Mammal (warm-blooded, fur, gives birth to live young)
15.
giraffe: Mammal (warm-blooded, fur, gives birth to live young)
16.
ostrich: Bird (feathers, beak, lays eggs)
17.
eagle: Bird (feathers, beak, lays eggs)
18.
penguin: Bird (feathers, beak, lays eggs)
19.
barracuda: Fish (aquatic, gills, scales)
20.
martin: Bird (feathers, beak, lays eggs)
#### Step 3: Organize the Animals into Groups
-
Mammals: lion, bat, seal, cow, whale, sheep, giraffe
-
Fish: shark, guppy, tuna, bass, seahorse, barracuda
-
Birds: pelican, canary, parrot, ostrich, eagle, penguin, martin
#### Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{c|c|c}
\textbf{Mammals} & \textbf{Fish} & \textbf{Birds} \\
