To solve this problem, we need to look at the characteristics of each animal group and match them with the animals listed.
1. Analyze the Groups:
*
Birds: Have feathers, lay eggs, have lungs, are warm-blooded.
*
Mammals: Have skin/hair/fur, babies drink milk, have lungs, are warm-blooded.
*
Reptiles: Have scales, lay eggs, have lungs, are cold-blooded.
*
Amphibians: Have smooth/moist skin, lay eggs (usually in water), use lungs or gills, are cold-blooded.
*
Fish: Have scales, lay eggs, use gills to breathe, are cold-blooded.
2. Match the Animals:
*
Chimpanzee: It has fur and is a primate. This fits the
Mammals group.
*
Bullfrog: It has smooth green skin and lives near water. This fits the
Amphibians group.
*
Rainbow Trout: It swims in water and has fins/scales. This fits the
Fish group.
*
Barn Owl: It has feathers and wings. This fits the
Birds group.
*
Iguana: It has rough, scaly skin. This fits the
Reptiles group.
*
Fire belly newt: Like the frog, it has smooth skin and lives in/around water. This fits the
Amphibians group.
*
Salmon: It is a fish that swims in the ocean and rivers. This fits the
Fish group.
*
Vampire Bat: Even though it flies, it has fur and feeds its young milk. This fits the
Mammals group.
*
Rattlesnake: It has scales and no legs. This fits the
Reptiles group.
*
Emperor Penguin: It has feathers (even though it can't fly high, it is still a bird). This fits the
Birds group.
3. Final Grouping:
*
Birds: Barn owl, Emperor penguin
*
Mammals: Chimpanzee, Vampire bat
*
Reptiles: Iguana, Rattlesnake
*
Amphibians: Bullfrog, Fire belly newt
*
Fish: Rainbow trout, Salmon
Final Answer:
Birds: Barn owl, Emperor penguin
Mammals: Chimpanzee, Vampire bat
Reptiles: Iguana, Rattlesnake
Amphibians: Bullfrog, Fire belly newt
Fish: Rainbow trout, Salmon
