Identify Farm Animals

12 questions · Nature

Since the Stone Age they have shared our farms and pastures and given us milk, eggs and wool: recognise the farm animals cow, pig, sheep, goat, chicken, duck, goose, turkey, donkey, rabbit, bee and alpaca by their looks. Good to know: The cow is the female of domestic cattle and gives milk and meat. It has four stomachs and chews the cud. The pig is a clever farm animal with a snout-like nose. It loves to wallow in mud. The sheep provides wool, milk and meat and lives in flocks. It is sheared once a year. The goat is a nimble farm animal that loves to climb. It eats almost any plant. The chicken is poultry that lays eggs and scratches for food. It is the most common farm animal on Earth. The duck is a waterfowl with webbed feet and a flat bill. Its plumage is water-repellent. The goose is a large waterfowl with a long neck and loud honking. Geese are said to be as watchful as dogs. The turkey is a large poultry bird with a red wattle on the head. The male fans its tail to impress. The donkey is a patient pack animal with long ears.
