What type of birds, mammals, insects, etc. have you observed in your surroundings?
In my surroundings, I have observed birds like sparrows, crows, pigeons, and kites; mammals like squirrels and mongoose; insects like butterflies, bees, ants, and beetles; and worms in the soil. The variety of living organisms depends on the habitat type and availability of food and shelter.
Explanation
The chapter describes biodiversity as comprising plants, animals, birds, fish, insects, and microorganisms. Activity 1 mentions that each plant supports a tiny cosmos full of insects, spiders, squirrels, birds, and other creatures. The 'What else can I do?' section specifically mentions observing birds like kites and animals like mongoose in the city, referred to as 'urban wildlife'.
