B Let's understand
Animals are our wonderful friends in nature! Some animals are very big, like elephants, giraffes, and cows. Some are small, like rabbits, squirrels, and kittens. And tiny creatures like ants and ladybugs are insects! Domestic animals live with us or on farms, like dogs, cats, cows, and sheep. Wild animals live freely in jungles and forests, like lions, tigers, and zebras. Animal babies have sweet names: a baby dog is a puppy, a baby cat is a kitten, a baby cow is a calf, and a baby hen is a chick.
