Look closely at each pair of creatures. Can you tell which one is an animal and which one is a plant? You can’t always tell just by looking. Some plants look like animals, and some animals look like plants.
A sea anemone looks like a flower, but it is not. When a fish swims near it and touches the sea anemone’s petals, the fish gets caught. A little mouth opens up in the middle of the “flower” and grabs the fish! Plants don’t eat food the same way animals do. Most green plants make their own food with help from sunshine, air, and water. But animals can’t make their own food. So they eat plants or other animals.
The sea anemone slides slowly over the sand. Can a plant move around? No, it cannot. Once a plant sprouts up from its seed or roots, it stays in the same place. But most animals can get around by themselves. If a living thing moves about and eats food, it’s an animal.
