I am called the king of the jungle. I have a loud roar, a strong body, and a big mane (hair) if I am a male. I live in groups and I hunt to feed my family.

Lion

I wear a black and white coat like a little suit. I cannot fly but I swim very well and live where it is very cold. I walk on two legs and waddle when I move.

Penguin

I have strong back legs and a large pocket on my belly where I carry my baby. I can jump very high and live in wide open places with grass.

Kangaroo

I live in hot, dry deserts and can travel long distances without water. I store fat in the humps on my back, which helps me survive when food and water are scarce; some of us have one hump, others have two.

Camel

I have long ears and a soft, furry body. I hop with strong back legs, dig little burrows, and like to nibble on carrots, lettuce, and other vegetables.

Rabbit

I am the biggest land animal with thick skin and very large ears. I use my long trunk to grab food, drink water, and give myself showers; I live in family groups and remember places and friends for a long time.

Elephant

I live in water, breathe with gills, and move using fins. I come in many colors and sizes, and sometimes swim in large groups called schools to stay safe.

Fish

I live under the sea and have eight strong, bendy arms with suckers. I can squeeze through tiny holes, change color to hide, and I am very clever when I hunt.

Octopus

I am an ancient reptile that lives in rivers, swamps, and some coasts. My skin is rough like armor, I have many sharp teeth, and I can stay very still in water while waiting for prey.

Crocodile

I am small with whiskers and a long tail. I can chew almost anything, live in houses or sewers, and I am very good at finding food where people live.

Rat

I am one of the largest animals on the planet and I live in the ocean. I breathe air through a blowhole on top of my head and sometimes make loud, long songs that travel far through the water.

Whale

I have black and white fur and a round face. I spend most of my day eating bamboo shoots, climb trees slowly, and people love me for my gentle look.

Panda

I am a very strong ape with a thick body and long arms. I live in forests, use tools sometimes, and care for my family in groups called troops.

Gorilla

I live high in the sky and look down with very sharp eyes. I fly fast, carry food in my strong claws, and build my nest on tall cliffs or big trees.

Eagle

I wake up when the sung goes down. I fly silently in the night, sleep hanging upside down, and use echoes of sound to find where insects and fruit are hiding.

Bat

I have no legs and move by sliding my long body over the ground. I sometimes hide in the grass or coil on a rock to warm in the sum, and I can bite or hiss when I feel scared.

Snake

I am big and furry with strong paws. I love to eat honey and berries, and in cold months I sleep for a long time in a cozy den in a cave.

Bear

I live near water and can jump very far with my strong back legs. When I am young I breath under water with gills, and when I grow up I breathe air and make a croaking sound.

Frog

I begin life as a slow hungry caterpillar that eats many leaves. Then I sleep inside a cocoon and wake up with bright, colorful wings to visit flowers and drink sweet nectar.

Butterfly

I am a very large bird with long legs and a long neck. I cannot fly, but I can run faster than many animals. Sometimes people say I hide my head in the sand when I am scared.
