1. What is a Wild Animal?

   Before we start writing, let's remember what we already know about life in nature. Wild animals live freely in natural environments without human care. Unlike domestic animals or pets, they find their own food and shelter in the wild.

   Key Words to Remember

   • Mammals: lions, bears, elephants, wolves
   • Reptiles: snakes, crocodiles, lizards
   • Birds: eagles, owls, hawks
   • Aquatic Animals: sharks, dolphins, whales

   Thinking tip: Think about your favourite wild animal. What does it look like? What makes it unique?

   Where Do Wild Animals Live?

   A habitat is the natural home or environment of an animal or plant. Every wild animal is adapted to survive in its specific habitat.

   Common Natural Habitats

   • Jungle / Rainforest: Warm, wet, and full of dense trees. (e.g., monkeys, tigers, parrots)
   • Desert: Hot and dry with very little water. (e.g., camels, scorpions, desert foxes)
   • Ocean / Sea: Deep, salty water covering most of our planet. (e.g., whales, sea turtles, sharks)
   • Polar Regions / Arctic: Extremely cold, snowy, and icy lands. (e.g., polar bears, penguins, seals)
   • Savannah / Grassland: Wide plains with tall grass and warm climate. (e.g., zebras, giraffes, cheetahs)

   Getting Ready to Write: The Fact File

   Good writers always plan their ideas before writing full sentences. You can use a fact file or a mind map to organise your thoughts clearly.

   Questions to Guide Your Plan

   1. Animal Name: What is the animal?
   2. Type / Group: Is it a mammal, bird, or reptile?
   3. Habitat: Where does it live in the world?
   4. Diet: Is it a herbivore (plant-eater) or a carnivore (meat-eater)?
   5. Physical Features: Does it have sharp claws, thick fur, or strong wings?

   Answering these questions first makes writing smooth and fun!

   From Notes to a Short Description

   Look at how notes turn into a meaningful paragraph:

   Pre-Writing Notes:

   • Animal: Brown bear
   • Habitat: Forests and mountains
   • Diet: Fish, berries, and small plants
   • Features: Thick brown fur, large paws, sharp claws

   Sample Paragraph:

   "The brown bear is a strong wild mammal. It lives in cold forests and high mountains. It has thick fur to stay warm during winter. Brown bears eat both plants and fish. They are amazing creatures of the wild!"

   Now choose an animal, fill in your notes, and get ready to write your own paragraph!
