Animal Parts
Animals have special parts that help them grow and live. Read about them below!
-
Tails
Cows and horses have long tails. The tails help the animals swat away insects.
-
Udders
Female mammals have a special body part called an udder. This is where milk
is made. Farmers use milking machines to remove the milk from some mammals. People can drink this milk. -
Split Hooves
A hoof is an animal toe with a thick, hard covering. Split hooves help animals balance better on soft ground. Pigs, cattle, sheep, and goats all have split hooves.

Wool
Sheep grow heavy coats called wool. In warm weather, too much wool makes them too hot. Farmers cut the wool off the sheep to keep that from happening.
