What is the definition of terrestrial animals?

  • Terrestrial animals are animals that live on land.
  • They use their legs to walk or run and do not live in water.
  • Many terrestrial animals have a special home called a habitat, like forests, deserts, or grasslands.

Example 1: A lion is a terrestrial animal because it lives in the grasslands of Africa and hunts on land.

Example 2: A rabbit is also a terrestrial animal because it hops around on the ground in fields and gardens.

Example 3: An elephant is a terrestrial animal too, as it walks through forests and savannas looking for food.

Fun Fact: Even though some animals can swim, like dogs or pigs, they are still considered terrestrial animals if they mainly live on land!
