Good afternoon steemians.
I want to share of what are the basic needs of the animals.
Are there animals in your surroundings? Are they healthy or sick? What enable them to continue living?
Animals have similar needs like human. They need food, water, air and shelter in order to live and grow. Some animals need human care for their survival.

First is...
- Food
Animals eat different kinds of food. They feed on varied materials that provide them the needed nutrients. Some animals eat grass, fresh fruits, vegetable and other parts of the plant. Some animals feed on insects, flesh of other small animals. Some animals eat both plants and animals.
Water
Animals after eating need water to drink. Some small animals get enougj water from the fleshy parts of plant theu eat. Bigger animals on the other hand, need much water, thus, they go to pools, rivers, lakes or human provide them with it. Drinking water replace water lost from the body and prevents dehydration. Animals also need water for cooling effect especially during hot summer.Air
Animals also need air to breathe. Oxygen is the gas in air needed by animals day and night. Clean air result to healthy life. Polluted air can cause sickness that may lead to death.

Animals also need home or shelter to protect themselves and their young ones from their enemies, and from the changing weather and climate. They live in a place where they can find and get food, where they can reproduce and grow, and where they can find safety and protection.
