More About Animals for Class 2 (EVS): Wild, Domestic & Pets, Animal Homes, Teeth and Babies
I live in many Indian homes, I wag my tail when I'm happy, and I bark at strangers. Who am I? In this lesson from Param Tuition Bureau, Class 2 children become animal detectives: they sort animals, find their homes, read their teeth, and learn how animals help us.
1. Wild, Domestic or Pet?
Ask one question: who looks after this animal?
| Type | Who looks after it? | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Wild | Nobody. It finds its own food and home | Lion, elephant, giraffe |
| Domestic | People on farms. Gives milk or helps with work | Cow, goat, horse |
| Pet | Lives with us at home for love and company | Dog, cat, parrot |
2. Animal Homes
Every animal needs a safe home, called a shelter.
| Animal | Home |
|---|---|
| Honeybee | Beehive |
| Bird | Nest |
| Spider | Web |
| Horse | Stable |
| Pet dog | Kennel |
| Lion | Den (cave) |
3. What Do Teeth Tell Us?
- Plant-eaters (herbivores) like cows and rabbits have flat teeth to grind grass and leaves.
- Meat-eaters (carnivores) like lions and eagles have sharp, pointed teeth or a hooked beak, and sharp claws.
- Animals that eat both (omnivores) include bears, and us humans.
4. Activity: Be a Teeth Detective
Smile into a mirror. Your front teeth are flat with sharp edges, for biting. Next to them are pointed teeth, for tearing. Your back teeth are wide and flat, for grinding and chewing. We have both kinds, so humans are omnivores.
5. Animal Babies
| Animal | Baby |
|---|---|
| Dog | Puppy |
| Cat | Kitten |
| Cow | Calf |
| Sheep | Lamb |
| Horse | Foal |
| Hen | Chick |
Dogs, cats and cows give birth to babies. Birds like hens and sparrows lay eggs, and the chicks hatch out.
6. How Animals Move and Help Us
Snakes and caterpillars crawl, fish swim, eagles and butterflies fly, and kangaroos and rabbits hop. Animals give us milk, eggs, honey, wool and silk, and oxen help farmers plough fields.
7. Kindness Activity: A Water Bowl for Birds
In hot Indian summers, keep a shallow bowl of water in the shade on your balcony or wall, and change it every day. Never tease animals, break nests, or throw plastic near them.

More About Animals for Class 2 (EVS): Wild, Domestic & Pets, Animal Homes, Teeth and Babies — FAQs
What is the difference between a wild animal and a domestic animal?
A wild animal, like a lion or elephant, finds its own food and home with no one looking after it. A domestic animal, like a cow or goat, is looked after by people on farms and gives milk or helps with work.
How can you tell if an animal is a herbivore, carnivore or omnivore from its teeth?
Herbivores like cows have flat teeth for grinding grass and leaves. Carnivores like lions have sharp, pointed teeth for tearing meat. Omnivores, like bears and humans, have both flat and pointed teeth because they eat both plants and meat.
What are some animal homes called?
A beehive for honeybees, a nest for birds, a web for spiders, a stable for horses, a kennel for a pet dog, and a den for a lion.
What are baby animals called?
A puppy (dog), kitten (cat), calf (cow), lamb (sheep), foal (horse) and chick (hen). Dogs, cats and cows give birth to babies, while hens lay eggs that hatch into chicks.
