But some animals are wild. Wild animals are not happy with us. They want to live on their own.

A tiger is a wild animal. Do not keep one as a pet. They have sharp claws. They need to live in the forest. They need to hunt.

A snake is a wild animal. Do not keep one as a pet. They have sharp fangs. They need lots of space. They do not like us.

A monkey is a wild animal. Do not keep one as a pet. They are strong. They have sharp teeth. They need to be in the jungle.

Some animals live in a zoo. A zoo knows how to look after the animals. They care for them. They keep them safe.

Wild animals do not make good pets. It is not kind to the animals. Do you love a wild animal? Let it be free. Let it be happy.
