Answer Key

#	Answer
1	Animals need food, water, air, and shelter. Any two are acceptable.

15	Amphibians usually live part of their life in water and part on land, and they have moist skin. Reptiles have dry, scaly skin and live mostly on land.
16	They migrate to find food, warmer weather, or a safe place to raise young.
17	Camouflage is a trait that helps an animal blend in with its surroundings.
18	It can help the animal hide from predators or sneak up on prey.
19	The frog is both a consumer and prey. In the middle of this food chain, it is a consumer that eats the grasshopper and prey for the snake.

21	A vertebrate has a backbone. An invertebrate does not have a backbone.
22	Invertebrate examples: spider, earthworm, snail, insect. Vertebrate examples: fish, bird, dog, frog, human.
23	A long beak can help a bird get food from flowers, mud, water, or tight places.
24	An animal’s habitat can shape its body structures to help it survive there. Example: ducks have webbed feet for swimming, and polar bears have thick fur for cold habitats.
25	An animal’s adaptations help it get food, stay safe, and live in its habitat. For example, a beak shape, body covering, or foot type can help the animal find food, avoid danger, and survive in its environment.
