Fish live
in H2O.
Most hatch
from eggs, you know.
They
breathe through gills.
Their
blood, it chills!
Their skin
has scales –
enough fish
tales!
An amphibian’s a cold-blooded beast!
It has two
homes, at least.
A home in
the water, a home on land.
First they have
gills, then lungs-how grand!
They
usually have fairly moist skin,
but it’s not
skin I’d want to be in!
A reptile
is cold-blooded too!
You can
visit some at the zoo!
They hatch
from eggs, I don’t know why …
Their skin
is thick, and scaly, and dry!
But remember
if you should meet a ‘gator,
just walk
away, say “see you later!”
A bird is
a warm-blooded creature,
most can fly,
a quite nice feature!
Most have
feathers and wings,
and sweet
voices that sing.
Their
parents don’t rest,
‘til the chicks leave the nest.
Warm-blooded
is the mammal,
they’ve hair on
their bod (like a camel).
Babes get
milk from their mothers.
Mammals
are like none other.
Most live
on dry land, you bet,
but some like
it where it is wet!
