Animals play a very important role in our life. We like to go to the Zoo and visit wild animal parks. There we can see different animals: lions and monkeys, bears and tigers, horses and elephants. It is fun to watch baby animals. Zoos and parks help us to learn more about animals. Many scientists work in the wild animal parks. But it is better for animals to live in the wild. Animals can be real friends for people but they often need our help.

Birds are animals with feathers, two wings and two legs. Parrots and eagles are birds.

Insects are small creatures with six legs and usually two pair of wings. Butterflies and ladybirds are insects.

Mammals are animals who feed their babies on milk. Dogs, kangaroos, dolphins are mammals.

Cats are mammals too. Their short fur can be of different colors – clear white, black, red, grey or other. Cats have no fins and wings, just legs, a body, a head with whiskers and a long tail. They have 4 long legs, so they run quite fast. Sometimes cats can be friendly and nice to people, sometimes – selfish. It depends on cat’s temper. Cats are domestic animals, so they live with people – in people’s houses and apartments. They eat fish, meat, milk, sometimes – human’s food. Cats live for 10 - 15 years, but some of them can live more.

My petAs for me, I have a pet too – I have got a grey cat. Her name is Musya. My cat is two years old, s he is very funny and sometimes she does crazy things. She likes to sleep with us and to look at the window where colorful birds fly. Musya is rather smart and she knows the time I feed here and she goes to the kitchen before me. I like her very much and I hope she will live a long and happy life.
