Species
/ˈspiː.ʃiːz/
A species is a group of living things that are very similar to each other and can reproduce, meaning they can have babies together. For example, all dogs belong to the same species because they can mate and have puppies.
Examples
- In our science class, we learned that there are over 8.7 million different species on Earth, each adapted to its environment in unique and fascinating ways.
- While hiking in the forest, we spotted a rare species of bird that only lives in that region, reminding us of the importance of protecting natural habitats for all living creatures.
- As we researched endangered species for our school project, we discovered that many animals are at risk due to habitat loss and climate change, which affects their ability to survive and reproduce.
