Learning About Wild Animals: A Fun Worksheet for First Graders

🦁 WHAT ARE WILD ANIMALS?

Wild animals are animals that live in nature all by themselves. They do not live with people in homes. They find their own food, build their own homes, and take care of themselves without any help from humans.

Why are they called “WILD” animals?

• They are not tamed or trained by people
• They live freely in forests, jungles, oceans, and deserts
• They are born in nature and grow up in nature
• They can take care of themselves
