Body Parts

Body parts of an animal make up its structure and can include:

• beak
• eye
• fur
• gill
• head
• leg
• mouth
• nose
• scales
• tail
• teeth
• tongue

It's these different body parts that help animals do different things. For example

• the strong legs on a frog help it to leap into the air.
• the long beak on a woodpecker helps it to reach its food.
• the big mouth full of sharp teeth helps Alligators catch their food.
• the large wings covered in feathers helps owls to fly quickly and quietly.
• the very long nose on an anteater helps it to reach the ants and insects it eats.
