1. Exploring Life in Nature

   Our planet is home to thousands of amazing wild animals. Each animal lives in a special environment called a habitat where it finds food, water, and shelter.

   Common Habitats

   • Savannahs and Grasslands: Wide, open areas where animals like lions, giraffes, and cheetahs run freely.
   • Polar Regions: Cold, icy lands where polar bears, penguins, and arctic foxes survive low temperatures.
   • Tropical Rainforests: Warm, rainy forests full of tall trees, home to monkeys, jaguars, and colourful parrots.
   • Oceans: Deep water habitats where dolphins, whales, and sea turtles swim.

   Understanding where an animal lives helps us learn about its habits, diet, and unique features.

   How to Read Fast and Smart

   When you read about wildlife in magazines, encyclopaedias, or websites, you do not always need to read every single word slowly. You can use two helpful reading skills:

   1. Skimming (Looking Quickly for the Big Picture)

   Skimming means glancing quickly at titles, subheadings, photographs, and the first sentences of paragraphs. It helps you answer:

   • What is this text generally about?
   • Which animal or habitat does it introduce?

   2. Scanning (Searching for Specific Details)

   Scanning means moving your eyes quickly down the page to spot a specific clue, such as:

   • A number (e.g., weight, lifespan, or speed).
   • A capital letter (e.g., country names or continents like Africa or Antarctica).
   • Key words (e.g., habitat, carnivore, or wings).

   Wild Animal Profile Card

   Look at the fact card below. Practice skimming the title to identify the animal, and scanning the bullet points to spot key facts quickly:

   The Golden Eagle

   • Classification: Bird of prey (wild bird)
   • Habitat: High mountains, open hills, and cliffs across the Northern Hemisphere
   • Diet: Small mammals like rabbits, ground squirrels, and marmots
   • Key Feature: Sharp claws (talons) and excellent eyesight for hunting from great heights

   Quick Check Tip: Notice how words in bold (like Habitat and Diet) guide your eyes directly to the exact information without reading the whole page!
