Animal groups practice worksheet 1st grade

📚 Topic Summary

Animals can be grouped based on what they eat, where they live, or how they are born. For example, some animals eat only plants (herbivores), some eat only meat (carnivores), and some eat both (omnivores). Animals also live in different habitats, like forests, oceans, or deserts.
