ANIMALS NEED TO EAT
![Page 9: SPLISH SPLASH](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103006/56814238550346895dae55ca/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
All animals need to eat, but different
beasts eat in different ways.
A raccoon searches for fish, nuts, and
other things to eat. Raccoons wash all
their food before eating it. To do this,
they must live near water. Even small
pools of water, like puddles, will do.
![Page 10: SPLISH SPLASH](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103006/56814238550346895dae55ca/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
After the raccoon
washes its food,
it begins to eat
by taking small
bites. The animal
may nibble on an
acorn once it is
clean.
![Page 11: SPLISH SPLASH](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103006/56814238550346895dae55ca/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A tiger hunts for
the meat it eats.
Eating can make
a mess out of
the tiger’s fur.
There are many
places that need
to be scratched.
![Page 12: SPLISH SPLASH](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103006/56814238550346895dae55ca/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
To get rid of these
itches, the tiger
bathes in a pond.
Later the tiger
may lie in the sun
and preen. It
carefully smooths its
fur with its tongue.
![Page 13: SPLISH SPLASH](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103006/56814238550346895dae55ca/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A spider eats meat,
too. It builds a sticky
web and then hides.
The web is a useful
tool for the spider.
Bugs get stuck in the
handy web. Then the
spider’s dinner can’t
escape.

SPLISH ! SPLASH !ANIMAL BATHS

SPLISH! SPLASH!
Take a bath.
Brush your teeth clean.
And think of the animals.
They clean themselves, too.
SQUIRT!
An elephant sprays
water over its back.
SQUIRT!
Baby will get a shower, too.
![Page 16: SPLISH SPLASH](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103006/56814238550346895dae55ca/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Pigs take their baths in thick,
brown mud. They soak, slog,
snort…and seem to smile.
Mud cools their skin.
And best of all, it gets
rid of itches, as well.
![Page 17: SPLISH SPLASH](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103006/56814238550346895dae55ca/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Birds take baths in puddles.
Or shower under sprinklers or waterfalls.
Once clean, they preen – smoothing,
fluffing, and straightening their
feathers. That’s like hair brushing
for you.
![Page 19: SPLISH SPLASH](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103006/56814238550346895dae55ca/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Ducks do extra work.
They spread oil on their feathers.
This special oil waterproofs them.
Without it, ducks would get
soggy and cold…which wouldn’t
be ducky at all!
![Page 21: SPLISH SPLASH](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103006/56814238550346895dae55ca/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Bears have long fur that
gets itchy and full of
insects. To scratch
itches, a bear rubs
against a tree. Bears also
take dust baths. They
roll in dirt. Or they
swim and splash in a
wide, cool stream.
![Page 23: SPLISH SPLASH](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103006/56814238550346895dae55ca/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Splish splash
I was taking a bath!
![Page 24: SPLISH SPLASH](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103006/56814238550346895dae55ca/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Even the king of beasts can get beastly
dirty. So lions do what house cats do.
They lick their long fur clean. But
even a lion’s tongue can’t reach the
back of its head… so it licks a paw
and rubs over its head and ears.
![Page 25: SPLISH SPLASH](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103006/56814238550346895dae55ca/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

A comb might come in handy for cleaning
a chimpanzee’s fur. But chimps don’t
have combs, so fingers work fine.
Chimps bite and pull bugs and leaves
from their family’s and friend’s fur.
What are good buddies for?
![Page 27: SPLISH SPLASH](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103006/56814238550346895dae55ca/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Oxpeckers, a type of bird, spend
their time hanging around. Where?
On the bodies of giraffes. Giraffes
don’t seem to mind. Oxpeckers peck
away ticks. They get a meal, and the
giraffe gets clean.
![Page 29: SPLISH SPLASH](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103006/56814238550346895dae55ca/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Hippos have helpers, too. But these
helpers are underwater, in the rivers
and ponds where hippos wade. Fish
nibble algae off a hippo’s skin. Does
it tickle the hippo? Only hippos know.
And they won’t say.
![Page 31: SPLISH SPLASH](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103006/56814238550346895dae55ca/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Fish nibbling on a
hippo’s back.
![Page 32: SPLISH SPLASH](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103006/56814238550346895dae55ca/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Fish don’t take baths. They live in water.
But some do try to stay clean. Big fish
wait in line – not for a car wash, but
for a cleaner fish.
Nibble, nibble, the cleaner fish bites tiny
pests off the big fish’s scales. The big
fish gets clean. The cleaner fish gets a
meal. Now that’s an amazing deal!
![Page 33: SPLISH SPLASH](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103006/56814238550346895dae55ca/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Nearby, a shrimp crawls into a
moray eel’s mouth.
Will it become a shrimp dinner? Not this
time. It’s a cleaner shrimp – an animal
dentist.
It picks and eats food off the moray’s
teeth. Instead of being a shrimp dinner,
it’s dinnertime for this little shrimp.
![Page 35: SPLISH SPLASH](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103006/56814238550346895dae55ca/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Now that you’ve heard about animal
baths and animal dentists, and how
animals splish, splash, peck, and preen…
It’s time to take your bath.
Splish and splash.
And think of the animals.
They, too, are getting clean.
