Animal kingdom The animal kingdom is made up of two main groups: the vertebrates and the invertebrates.

What's a life cycle? A life cycle is a series of stages through which an animal passes during its lifetime.
Adaptation Animals often use their teeth, scales, fur, bottlenose and feathers to survive in the environment they live in.
Migration Migration is when animals and birds move from one place to another and back again to their original place. They do this to find better climate, better food and a safe place to live.
