ANIMALS
We know animals need certain things in their habitat to survive: food, water, shelter and space. Some animals are able to survive in a habitat on their own using the food, water, shelter and space provided in the habitat. Animals that can live on their own are called wildlife.
There are other animals that depend on humans to survive. Domesticated animals are animals that humans have tamed and now need humans to provide one part or all of their habitat. If you have a pet, your pet depends on you to provide its food, water, shelter and space. Some animals are raised for products humans use, such as food. These domesticated animals are called livestock.
Below is a mix of animal pictures that are either wildlife or domesticated. PUT CIRCLES AROUND THE ANIMALS THAT ARE WILDLIFE. PUT AN X ON THE PICTURES OF DOMESTICATED ANIMALS.
Do some of the animals have both a circle and an X? Some animals that are wild can be tamed and used as a pet. Many people have turtles as pets but there are many turtles that survive on their own in the wild!
