Explanation
Wild animals live in nature; do not go close to them and do not feed them. Fun facts: kangaroos and koalas live in Australia; a kangaroo hops. A panda lives in China and eats bamboo. A penguin is a bird that cannot fly but swims well. A bat is the only mammal that can really fly. Many owls hunt at night. A parrot can sometimes copy human voices. A gorilla is a large ape from Africa. To talk about an animal: “A koala is gray. It lives in Australia.” Plurals: kangaroos, koalas, parrots, penguins, bats, owls, jaguars, bears, pandas, gorillas.
