We cannot see all animals in our surroundings because different animals live in different habitats. Some animals live in forests, deserts, oceans, mountains, or very cold places. Some animals are also active mainly at night. We know about many animals that we have not seen, such as lions, elephants, camels and penguins. We can collect information about these animals from books and reliable websites.
