NOTE

CLASSIFICATION OF FARM ANIMALS BASED ON THEIR HABITAT

Habitat means where someone or something is living.

  1. Some farm animals are living on land and we called them terrestrial animals. Example of such animals are: cattle, sheep, goats, pigs fowls camels etc.
  2. Some other farm animals live in water and are called aquatic animals. E.g. fish, shellfish, hippopotamuses etc.
  3. There are some terrestrial animals, however, that live on trees and are called arboreal animals e.g.  birds.

All living things need oxygen for survival. Terrestrial animals obtain oxygen directly from the atmosphere, but aquatic animals obtain oxygen dissolved in the water where they live.

 

CLASSIFICATION OF FARM ANIMALS BASED ON THEIR MODE OF REPRODUCTION

  1. Mammals are those animals that bear their young ones alive and have their bodies covered with hair. They equally feed their young ones with milk from their mammary glands(breast). Examples of mammals are: goat, sheep, cattle, pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits.
  2. Non- mammals are animals which produce their young ones by laying and hatching eggs. Examples are birds, fishes, lizards , snails, snakes.
