Every Animal Ever

Habits

Some animals are busy at night. Some move with the seasons. Some hide. Some stay together.

On the move

Migration means a long trip that comes around again. The animal is not lost.

Homes

  • Nest. Birds build nests. A gorilla builds a leaf nest for sleep.
  • Burrow. Rabbits, foxes, and meerkats dig homes under the ground.
  • Den. Bears and wolves rest in a den.
  • Hive. Honey bees share a hive.
  • Web. A garden spider spins a silk web. A spider is not an insect.
  • Lodge. A beaver piles sticks into a lodge in a pond.
  • Shell. A snail grows a shell. A hermit crab borrows an empty one.

Stories

These are stories. They are not facts.

Story

The tortoise and the hare

A story race. Real tortoises are slow. Real hares are fast. The race did not happen.

Story

How the camel got its hump

A story. A real camel hump stores fat, not a wish.

Story

A unicorn

A unicorn is a story animal. It is not a real animal.
