Growth and Changes in Animals
Animals grow and change during their lives.
- Many animals go through a life cycle — for example, egg → caterpillar → chrysalis → butterfly.
- Animals have different body coverings (fur, feathers, scales) and features that help them survive.
- Animals meet their needs for food, water, air, and shelter in different ways.
A life cycle is a repeating pattern: each new animal grows up and can start the cycle again.
