Growing up wild

This week you will be distinguishing between animals that are wild and animals that are not wild. A wild animal can take care of itself and survive on its own without depending on people as long as it has a suitable habitat in which to live. It gets all its food, water and shelters it needs from its habitat. Animals that live with people depend on them for food, water, and shelter. You will learn what animals are wild and which are domesticated. Many animals, whether wild or domesticated, may bite, scratch, or kick to protect themselves. It is of great importance to be careful and respectful around all animals, especially ones you do not know.
