Animals All Around Us
Did you know that some animals live in your backyard, while others live on farms or in the wild? This puzzle celebrates creatures big and small, from tiny ones you might find in your garden to fluffy friends people keep as pets.
A HAMSTER might live in a cage in someone's bedroom, munching on seeds and running on a wheel. Meanwhile, a real PEGASUS would be a magical horse with wings—though the real animals in this puzzle are all ones you can actually find on Earth! Speaking of real animals, a WOMBAT is a chunky, cute marsupial from Australia that digs burrows underground. If you've ever seen a BADGER, you know they're brave little fighters with striped faces and powerful claws for digging.
Some of these animals are common sights. A PIGEON might visit your neighborhood looking for crumbs, and a DUCK paddles around in ponds and lakes. Others you might only spot if you're very lucky or explore nature carefully—like a NEWT hiding under a rock near water, or a SLUG slowly making its way through the garden after rain.
Then there's the SKUNK, famous for its stinky spray when it feels scared or threatened. And don't forget about SHEEP, those woolly animals that give us the wool for cozy sweaters and blankets!
💡 Tip: When you're stuck, say the animal names out loud. Sometimes hearing the word helps your eyes spot the letters hiding in the grid!
Every animal in this puzzle has its own special way of living and moving through the world. Try finding HAMSTER first—it's hiding in a corner.
