1. Life in Nature

   Wild animals live in diverse natural environments around the world. These natural homes are called habitats. Each habitat provides the shelter, climate, and food that specific animals need to survive.

   Here are common habitats and the animals living there:

   • Tropical Rainforest: Warm, rainy, and full of dense trees. Animals: monkeys, toucans, jaguars, and tree frogs.
   • Savannah (Grassland): Open plains with tall grass and warm weather. Animals: lions, zebras, giraffes, and elephants.
   • Polar Regions (Arctic and Antarctic): Extremely cold, snowy, and icy. Animals: polar bears, penguins, and seals.
   • Ocean: Deep, salty water covering most of the Earth. Animals: whales, dolphins, sharks, and sea turtles.
   • Desert: Very dry and hot during the day, with very little rain. Animals: camels, desert foxes, and scorpions.

   How to Organise Information

   Before writing a message, a poster, or a presentation about a wild animal, we first collect key notes and group them into useful categories:

   • Category 1: Type & Classification – Is it a mammal, bird, reptile, or fish?
   • Category 2: Natural Habitat – Where does it live in the wild?
   • Category 3: Diet & Food – Is it a herbivore (plant-eater), carnivore (meat-eater), or omnivore (both)?
   • Category 4: Special Characteristics – What does it look like? What special abilities does it have?

   Example Note Card:

   Animal: Emperor Penguin
   Habitat: Antarctic ice and freezing ocean
   Diet: Fish, squid, and krill
   Features: Cannot fly, excellent swimmer, thick waterproof feathers

   Reconstructing Notes into Full Sentences

   To share animal facts with classmates or pen pals, we transform bullet points into clear, connected paragraphs. Useful sentence patterns include:

   • ... live in ... (e.g., Polar bears live in the cold Arctic.)
   • They feed on ... / They eat ... (e.g., Giraffes feed on leaves from tall acacia trees.)
   • They have got ... (e.g., Tigers have got sharp claws and orange fur with black stripes.)
   • They can / cannot ... (e.g., Dolphins can swim very fast and jump out of the water.)

   Sample Written Message:

   “Dear Classmates, today I want to introduce the African elephant. African elephants are the largest land mammals on Earth. They live in the grasslands and savannahs of Africa. They eat grass, fruit, and tree bark. Because their natural habitats are shrinking, we must protect them.”

   Put It into Practice

   Read the rough notes below and think about how to turn them into an informative email to your wildlife club:

   • Name: Blue Whale
   • Place: Deep oceans worldwide
   • Food: Tiny ocean creatures (krill)
   • Fact: Largest animal on Earth, breathes air through blowholes

   Try building sentences using this structure:

   1. State the animal and its habitat: “The blue whale lives in...”
   2. Describe its diet: “It feeds on...”
   3. Share a fascinating fact: “It is famous because it is...”

   Sharing accurate wildlife facts helps us raise awareness about protecting nature and wild habitats!
