Basic Needs of Living Things: Part 2

Animals need food, water, and air to survive. They obtain food from plants or other animals, drink water from natural sources, and breathe oxygen. Different species have unique adaptations to meet these needs. Elephants use their trunks for breathing and eating, zebras graze in savannas, flamingos and penguins have specialized diets, and stingrays breathe through gills.
