Classifying unusual animals, sentence 0
Some animals look as if they belong to one group but really belong to another, because we sort animals by their bodies, not by where they live or whether they fly or swim.
Who acts: animals, we · What happens: look, belong, sort, not live, fly, swim · To what, where: animals
This is a sentence of the lesson «Classifying unusual animals» of the world course of Mova's primary school.
