Warm upWhen you think of living things, you probably think first of animals. Animals have their own Kingdom, Animalia, which has its own scientific classification. Animals are creatures with whom we share the Earth. They live everywhere: in forest, desert, savanna, meadows, mountains and even at our homes. The animal kingdom is huge. It contains more than a million species. Most are small - much smaller than your eyes can see. But a few, like elephants and whales, are giants. All animals have one thing in common. They cannot make food. They need to eat plants or other animals to survive. Animals include everything from ants, spiders, and worms to fish, lizards, bears, dogs, birds, cats, and humans.
