Summary/Important points of the topic:

 Animals that do not have visible ears (whose ears can’t be seen) have
feathers or scales on their skin and they lay eggs
Eg: pigeon, sparrow, crocodile, duck, frog etc.
 Animals that have external(visible) ears have hair on their skin and they
give birth to young ones.
Eg: cats, dogs, cows, lions human beings etc.
 The different patterns on the animals are due to the hair on their skin.
 Many animal species in our world today are becoming endangered because
of human activities like illegal hunting, capturing and killing of animals for
their body parts to make various products.
 We need to protect our environment in which endangered animals live and
create national parks where hunting is illegal to conserve our wild life.
