The world of animals is very diverse. There are a lot of animals on our planet. They can be wild and domestic. Wild animals are those ones which live in nature without people. Wolves, foxes, giraffes are wild animals. Domestic animals live with people. We also call some of them “pets”: cats, dogs, guinea pigs and others.

 

People divide animals into four groups – reptiles, birds, insects and mammals.
