Wild animals are found in the forest. They are untamed. Some wild animals are herbivorous. Others are carnivorous. Giraffes and zebras eat only grass or leaves. Tigers, lions, and foxes eat only the flesh of other animals.

Every wild animal has its own special means of escaping attack. The deer has thin legs that help it run very fast. The zebra has black and white stripes, which blend with the background. The rhinoceros has either one or two horns on its nose.

Human beings sometimes catch wild animals and tame them. Then they are kept in a zoo or a circus to entertain us.

Some people kill wild animals for their skin, fur, horns, or tusks. Some people hunt wild animals just for fun. The government has turned some forests into wildlife sanctuaries to protect and preserve wild animals. Hunting is banned in wildlife sanctuaries.
