Shelter of Land Animals

Animals that live on land are called terrestrial animals. They can broadly be

classified into two groups— wild animals and domestic animals.

Wild Animals

Wild animals are those that live in forests. They usually find natural shelters
for themselves. Animals like monkeys and chimpanzees live on trees. They
are known as arboreal animals. Lions and bears live in caves or dens. Some
animals like rabbits and mongoose make burrows to live under the ground.

Snakes live in holes. Ants make anthills with tunnels of mud.

Domestic Animals

and other animals.
