To solve this problem, we need to look at each animal in the picture and decide if it is a mammal or not.
What is a mammal?
Mammals are animals that usually have fur or hair, are warm-blooded, and feed their babies with milk. Most mammals live on land, but some, like whales and dolphins, live in the water.
Let's go through the animals one by one:
1.
Cow: Has fur, gives milk.
Yes, it is a mammal.
2.
Dolphin: Lives in water, but has lungs and feeds babies milk.
Yes, it is a mammal.
3.
Jellyfish: No fur, no bones. Not a mammal.
4.
Octopus: Lives in water, has tentacles. Not a mammal.
5.
Snake: Has scales, cold-blooded. Not a mammal.
6.
Fish skeleton: It’s a fish. Fish are not mammals.
7.
Crab: Has a hard shell. Not a mammal.
8.
Shark: It’s a fish. Not a mammal.
9.
Camel: Has fur, lives in the desert.
Yes, it is a mammal.
10.
Goat: Has fur, gives milk.
Yes, it is a mammal.
11.
Shark (another one): Still a fish. Not a mammal.
12.
Cheetah/Leopard: Has fur/spots, is a cat.
Yes, it is a mammal.
13.
Fish: Has scales and fins. Not a mammal.
14.
Pig: Has bristly hair/fur.
Yes, it is a mammal.
15.
Bird: Has feathers. Not a mammal.
16.
Cat: Has fur.
Yes, it is a mammal.
17.
Scorpion: Has an exoskeleton. Not a mammal.
18.
Turtle: Has a shell. Not a mammal.
19.
Rabbit: Has fur.
Yes, it is a mammal.
Now, let's count the ones we said "Yes" to:
1. Cow
2. Dolphin
3. Camel
4. Goat
5. Cheetah/Leopard
6. Pig
7. Cat
8. Rabbit
There are 8 mammals in total.
Final Answer:
The 8 mammals are: the cow, the dolphin, the camel, the goat, the cheetah (spotted cat), the pig, the cat, and the rabbit.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of worksheet on mammals.
