Animal Movement: How Body Parts Help Animals Thrive

Animals have evolved various body parts to move efficiently in their environments. Land animals like cheetahs use strong legs to run fast, while tree-dwelling animals like spider monkeys swing using long limbs. Aquatic animals such as sharks use fins and tails to swim, and flying animals like birds have wings adapted for different types of flight.
