    Animals use different methods of locomotion to move from place to place. Some insects like butterflies and mosquitoes fly using wings, while others like ants and cockroaches walk or termites crawl. Reptiles such as lizards and snakes crawl or use legs to move, while turtles can swim. Birds fly using modified forelimbs called wings, and use legs to walk, run, or swim. Fish propel themselves through water using fins. Terrestrial animals generally use four limbs to walk or run. Aquatic animals like frogs use webbed feet or fins to swim. Locomotion helps animals obtain food and shelter and escape from predators.

    This presentation is a result of my experiences while I was
    helping out my son with his school assignments and project
    work. I am happy to share this with other students and their
    parents. Hope you find this informative and useful. Thank you.
