Different Ways Animals Move
Animals move to find food, to play and to keep safe. Not all animals move the same way.
- A dog and a cat walk on their legs.
- A bird and a butterfly fly with their wings.
- A fish swims in the water.
- A snake and a worm crawl on the ground.
Key idea
Animals can walk, fly, swim or crawl. Their body helps them move.
Body Parts for Moving
Animals use special body parts to move. Birds use wings, fish use fins and tails, and many animals use legs to walk.
Example
A duck can walk on land with its legs and swim in the water with its webbed feet.
