Animals Names for Kids
What Are Animals?
Animals are living beings that move, eat, breathe, and grow.
They come in many shapes, sizes, and habitats — from the tiny ant (चींटी) to the huge elephant (हाथी).
Some animals live with humans like dogs (कुत्ता) and cows (गाय), while others live in forests like lions (शेर) and tigers (बाघ).
- Animals are very important for nature. They help to keep our environment balanced, give us food, carry loads, and make the earth lively and beautiful.

Learning animals’ names in English and Hindi helps children:

🌈 Tip for Parents:
Take your kids to a zoo or farm and ask them to say the animal names aloud in both languages. It’s fun and helps them remember faster!
