Let's solve the
"Animal Groups" matching activity step by step.
We are given
six groups of animals, and we need to match each group to the correct animal class from the list on the right:
- Amphibians
- Birds
- Fish
- Invertebrates
- Mammals
- Reptiles

Step 1: Examine Each Row
####
Row 1:
Animals shown:
Lizard, Crocodile, Snake
All of these are
cold-blooded vertebrates with scaly skin.
✔ These are
Reptiles.
>
✔ Match:
Reptiles
---
####
Row 2:
Animals shown:
Seahorse, Fish, Eel
These are all aquatic animals that live in water and have fins and gills.
Even though seahorses look different, they are still fish (bony fish).
✔ These are
Fish.
>
✔ Match:
Fish
---
####
Row 3:
Animals shown:
Hummingbird, Chicken, Hawk
All of these have feathers, wings, lay eggs, and are warm-blooded.
✔ These are
Birds.
>
✔ Match:
Birds
---
####
Row 4:
Animals shown:
Dolphin, Whale, Zebra
Dolphin and whale are marine mammals (warm-blooded, give live birth, nurse young).
Zebra is a land mammal. All three are
mammals.
✔ These are
Mammals.
>
✔ Match:
Mammals
---
####
Row 5:
Animals shown:
Crab, Octopus, Jellyfish
These animals do
not have backbones.
Crab = crustacean, Octopus = cephalopod, Jellyfish = cnidarian — all are
invertebrates.
✔ These are
Invertebrates.
>
✔ Match:
Invertebrates
---
####
Row 6:
Animals shown:
Frog, Toad, Newt
These are amphibians — they start life in water (as tadpoles), breathe through gills, then develop lungs and live on land. They have moist skin and are cold-blooded.
✔ These are
Amphibians.
>
✔ Match:
Amphibians
---
Final Answer:
| Animal Group | Correct Name |
|--------------|---------------------|
| Lizard, Crocodile, Snake |
Reptiles |
| Seahorse, Fish, Eel |
Fish |
| Hummingbird, Chicken, Hawk |
Birds |
| Dolphin, Whale, Zebra |
Mammals |
| Crab, Octopus, Jellyfish |
Invertebrates |
| Frog, Toad, Newt |
Amphibians |
---
Summary:
Match each row as follows:
1.
Reptiles → Lizard, Crocodile, Snake
2.
Fish → Seahorse, Fish, Eel
3.
Birds → Hummingbird, Chicken, Hawk
4.
Mammals → Dolphin, Whale, Zebra
5.
Invertebrates → Crab, Octopus, Jellyfish
6.
Amphibians → Frog, Toad, Newt
✔ All matched correctly!
