Concept Notes & Examples

ANIMALS BASIC NEEDS

1. Water
The most important nutrient for survival is water. Water also functions in excretion of wastes, regulating
body temperature and transporting food.
2. Food
In terms of diet, three types of animals exist: carnivores, herbivores and omnivores. At a fundamental level,
food provides energy for animals. Carnivores are animals that eat meat. Herbivores eat leaves, fruits, and
flowers and Omnivores are animals that eat both plants and animals.
3. Oxygen / Air
Animals need air. Animals breathe in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide.
4. Habitat/ Shelter
Each animal needs a place to live -- a place where it can find food, water, oxygen and the proper
temperature. A habitat also offers shelter from the elements, protection from predators, a mate for reproduction
and a place to rear its young.

BODY PARTS for MOVING

1. LEGS – animals can walk and run

2. WINGS – animals use it on flying

3. FINS and TAILS – swimming and

for gliding in the water

4. TENTACLES – Octopus and squid

use to swim and catch their prey.

5. WEBBED FEET – frogs use to

swim in the water

6. BODIES – snakes use to slither and

crawl on land.
How Animals Get and Eat Their Food
How Animals Get Their Food
Animals get their food by the use of their body parts.

1
 a.       Valves and cilia – Clams use their valves to get food. Oyster use both valve and their cilia in their bodies.
The food is drawn into their shell by water current together with the beating of cilia and the opening of valves.

b.      Claws – Cats, tigers and lions use their claws in getting food. Cats catch mice by using their claws.

c. Tongue – cows and sheep place their lower jaw near the ground while grazing. They wrap their tongue
around the grass and close their mouth.

d.      Beaks and Bills – Owls, hawks, kingfishers and other birds use their beaks in getting food. The kingfishers
with their powerful bills, perch on a tree branch near the water to catch fish. The pelicans use their large bills
to catch fish. Other birds have small, short hard beaks for cracking nuts and seeds.

e.      Tentacles- Squid and octopus use their tentacles to obtain food. A squid has ten tentacles while the
octopus has eight. They also have beak like teeth used to bite and tear their prey into pieces.
2.       Appearance of the Mouth and Certain Mouth Parts

a.       Butterflies, bees and moths use the long fine sucking tubes of their mouths to sip nectar from  flowers.

b.      The whale’s big mouth open by the force of the animals, while in forward motion. Around 300 horny
baleen plates hang down like curtains from the roof of the mouth.

c.       Cray fishes have mouth parts that crush and bite food into small pieces.

d.      Grasshoppers, beetles and termites have biting mouth parts that tear the food into small pieces before
swallowing them.
