Animals
In the Class 2 Maharashtra State Board (MSBSHSE) EVS chapter 'Animals', young students explore the wonderful world of different animals around us. This chapter teaches children to identify and classify animals based on where they live (land, water, trees), what they eat (plant-eaters, flesh-eaters), and their sizes. Students learn about wild animals, domestic animals, and useful farm animals. Understanding this chapter is essential for building foundational environmental awareness and frequently forms the basis of objective questions, matching exercises, and picture-based identifications in board school assessments.

Domestic Animals
Animals that we keep at our homes or on farms are called domestic animals. They are very useful to us, like cows giving us milk and dogs guarding our houses.
Wild Animals
Animals that live naturally in forests and jungles are called wild animals. Examples include lions, tigers, and elephants, and we cannot keep them as pets.
Land and Water Animals
Some animals like horses and goats live only on land, while animals like fish and whales live only in water. Some animals like frogs can live in both places.
What Animals Eat
Different animals eat different foods. Cows and goats eat grass and leaves, while lions and tigers eat the flesh of other animals.
Animal Homes
Just like we live in houses, different animals live in different homes. Birds live in nests, lions live in dens, and cows live in sheds.
