 Scientists
have a special system to identify animals. They don't want
to confuse a Lion with a Tiger, or an Alligator with a Crocodile.
Every kind of animal belongs to its own species. Scientists
put species into different groups or "categories" such
as Mammals and Reptiles.
Similar species can be put into a category if they have certain things in common.
In this game you will learn which categories animals are in and why. |
