What is a wild animal? (wild animals kya hota hai)

A wild animal lives on its own in nature. Nobody feeds it or builds its home. It finds its own food and shelter in forests, grasslands, deserts, mountains, snow or the sea. A domestic animal, like a cow or a dog, lives with people and is looked after by them. Children aged 3-4 can understand this simple rule: "Wild animals look after themselves. Domestic animals are looked after by us." In Hindi, wild animals are called जंगली जानवर.

What are wild animals? Give an example: the lion, tiger, elephant, deer, bear and monkey are all wild. When teachers ask children to "name some wild animals" or give any two, any three or five wild animals name for kids, these six are the easiest answers. Many schools teach wild animals name and domestic animals name side by side; see our domestic animals name page for the other half.

Wild animals name chart, list and worksheet ideas

The word list above works as a wild animals name chart with pictures, Hindi, English and pronunciation. There is no PDF download, but you can print this page from your browser. Many parents use the printout as a wild animals name list in English and Hindi for homework.

Make your own worksheet at home: fold a paper into two columns, "wild" and "domestic", and let your child draw or stick pictures in the right side. Or cut out animal photos from an old magazine and match each to its home: forest, grassland, sea or snow. Five minutes is enough.

Seeing wild animals in the zoo and in India's forests

A trip to the zoo is the best way to learn wild animals name in zoo settings. Before you go, play this page for a few minutes, then at the zoo ask your child to spot "today's five". Talk about how zoo animals are wild animals cared for by keepers.

India has many national parks where tigers, elephants, leopards, deer and gaur live wild, such as Jim Corbett, Kaziranga (famous for the one-horned rhino) and Gir, the only home of wild Asiatic lions. You can share gentle facts:

• A giraffe is the tallest animal in the world.
• Every zebra has its own pattern of stripes.
• A kangaroo mother carries her baby, called a joey, in a pouch.
• Pandas eat bamboo for most of the day.
• Bats sleep upside down.

Our animals and their homes page shows where each one lives, and animal sounds for kids has the roar, growl and howl.

Kind, calm and inclusive learning

Some children find big wild animals scary. That is normal. Start with friendly animals like the deer, panda and squirrel, and turn on calm sound in settings. Say "the lion is far away in the forest; we are safe at home". Praise effort ("You found the gorilla!") rather than speed.

If your child has a speech delay, let them point or make the animal's movement instead of saying the name. Autistic children may enjoy sorting animals by home, which is predictable and calm. In bilingual homes, hearing both हिरण and "deer" is a gift, not a confusion. If you have concerns about your child's language, talk to your paediatrician.

Play together for a few minutes at a time. Under-2s learn best from a grown-up, toy animals and picture books rather than a screen.
