Animal Facts Comprehension

Read the two animal profiles. Then use evidence from the text to solve the questions. You may look back at the profiles whenever you need to.

Two animals from the UK

THE RED FOX Red foxes live in many parts of the United Kingdom. They can make their homes in woods, fields and even towns. A fox often rests in a sheltered den during the day and searches for food after sunset. Foxes eat a varied diet, including small mammals, insects, fruit and scraps of food. Their large ears help them hear quiet sounds, such as a mouse moving through grass. A fox’s thick coat helps keep it warm in cold weather. THE ATLANTIC PUFFIN Atlantic puffins spend much of their lives at sea, but they come ashore to breed. In the UK, puffins dig nesting tunnels in turf-covered places by the sea, including islands and steep shorelines. A puffin pair usually lays one egg. Both parents take turns keeping the egg warm and bringing food to their chick. Puffins catch small fish, which they carry back in their beaks. Their wings help them fly through the air and paddle underwater.
