Animals move
Plants can’t move from place to place by themselves, but animals move in
many different ways.
A clam has one foot that it uses for digging into mud or sand.
A penguin walks on two legs.
A kudu walks or runs on four legs.
Ladybugs walk on six legs.
Spiders walk on eight legs.
Centipedes may have a hundred pairs of legs on which to walk, and some
millipedes walk on more legs than that.
Snakes slide on no legs at all.
Bats and many kinds of birds and insects fly. Fish swim.
Some animals move only when they are young. Barnacles, sponges, and baby
oysters swim through the water until they find a good place to stay.
Then they fasten themselves down and never move again.
Animals can move around without help. If it moves by itself, it’s an
animal.
