Animal groups inside groups

Animals can be sorted into groups that sit inside one another. Each smaller group shares a feature that the larger group also has.

In the picture

  1. A wide blue loop: animals with an internal skeleton.
  2. A green inner loop: animals with four limbs.
  3. A yellow tiny loop around the sparrow: feathers.
  4. An orange tiny loop around the cat: hair or fur.

  • A pigeon has an internal skeleton, four limbs, and feathers.
