Artists who depict animals are called animalists (from the Latin word animal- animal). When drawing animals, first of all you need to determine what parts their body consists of and what shape these body parts are.

For example, consider a picture of an elephant. How is its trunk constructed? How are your legs and ears? What size is it? What color will we paint the elephant? If there are no colors gray, then how to get it?

Rabbit

Drawing a rabbit begins with large parts (torso and head). Let's pay attention to the shape of his head and body. How many ears does a rabbit have? What colour is he?

Hare

Now let's try to draw a hare step by step. First, let's see how a hare differs from a rabbit. How many paws does a hare have? Which legs are longer - front or back? What color should we paint the hare in summer, and what color in winter?

You can also draw a hare like this using familiar shapes (circle, oval, etc.).

Hippopotamus

What other animals are gray? This is a hippopotamus, a goat, a hedgehog. Let's look at the body of a hippopotamus: what parts does it consist of? What shape does a hippopotamus have? What is the largest body part of a hippopotamus?

Hedgehog

You can draw a hedgehog with an apple. Hedgehogs love apples very much, and we already know how to draw fruits.

a lion

What animals are brown or yellow? Bear, giraffe, lion, squirrel, fawn. Let's look at the drawing of a lion. It has long and thick hair on its head, called a mane. She makes the lion look so huge. By the way, lionesses do not have manes.

Leopard

Fawn

Let's draw a little funny deer. Let's pay attention to the structure of its legs. What shape is a fawn's head? What shape is the body?

Giraffe

Let's draw a tall giraffe. Let's pay attention to what kind of Long neck and a small head with horns. The giraffe's legs are also very long, and at the ends there are small hooves.

Zebra

Squirrel

Let's look carefully at the drawing. What shape is a squirrel's head? Her tail is long, wide, curling upward and raised high above her back. The ears are pointed and tufted at the tips. And the paws are of different lengths: the hind ones are long, and the front ones are short. Let's draw a squirrel with a fungus.

Monkey

What other animals are there and what color are they? For example, a monkey. Please note that the monkey's front legs are longer than its hind legs. She uses her front paws as hands.

Turtle

A turtle can be drawn from ovals that look like balloons - “sausages”. Let's pay attention to the turtle shell. It is divided, as it were, into checkers.

Snake

Learning to draw a snake is very simple. Snakes have a thin, elongated body, which is drawn with wavy lines. The snake's head is very interesting: it is small and tapering, looking like a small triangle.

What animals are there? Green colour? The lizard looks like a snake with legs. She has an elongated head, an elongated narrow body and a long, tapering tail.

Hamster

Let's try to draw a hamster. His body consists of two ovals.

Goat

N
Let's draw a goat. Let's pay attention to the shape of his head. Let's not forget to draw a beard for him. Let's pay attention to the drawing of the goat's legs. We draw the animal so that it is larger and so that it can be recognized.

Mountain goat

And this is a big horned goat. These goats with branchy horns live high in the mountains. That's what they're called - mountain goats.

Cow

Animals that live near humans are called domestic animals. These include a cow. A cow's head is small, but its body is very large. It is connected to the head by a wide and large neck. The cow has horns.

Bull

And this is a bull. It looks like a cow, but its neck is much shorter, its horns are located at a greater distance from each other. The bull itself is more powerful, and its legs are shorter than those of a cow.

Pig

Let's pay attention to how thick the pig's body is. It is oval, the tail is crocheted, the legs are small, and the head and body form a single whole, only the snout protrudes - the nose of the pig.

Lamb

The head and body of this funny lamb look like two ovals: small and large. His horns are curled in a circle, and his legs are like columns.

Sheep

Let's take a close look at the sheep. What shapes can you draw it from? What color is the sheep? What lines - straight or wavy - should you draw her fur?

Horse

Let's try to draw a horse. First you need to draw a piece of paper, as shown in diagram No. 1, then, according to diagram No. 2, draw out all the curves of the horse’s body, legs, ears, and tail. Scheme No. 3 already has a completed drawing of a horse.

You can draw a walking horse.

You can draw a running horse.

Dog

Before drawing a dog, let's think about how to position the drawing: vertically or horizontally. Using an inclined line, you must first outline the inclination of the dog’s body. Then use three ovals to mark her body. The upper oval is the head, the lower oval is the body itself, and the middle (transverse) oval is the upper part of its paws. Next, you need to outline other parts of the dog’s body - the paws themselves and the tail. Ears are drawn with triangles. The lower part of the paws is rounded.

Cat

The cat is drawn in the same way as the dog - with three ovals. Her ears are also triangular, but, unlike a dog’s, they are located further from one another.

Kitty

Or you can draw such a funny kitten playing with balls.

Or maybe something like this, from a cartoon.

Deer are a group of artiodactyl animals belonging to the deer family of the same name. There are about 25 species of deer in total. Their closest relatives are roe deer, moose and muntjac, and very distant relatives... giraffes.

Red deer (Cervus elaphus).

Deer are large animals; the size of different species can vary from 55 cm at the withers and a weight of 10-15 kg for a water deer to 155 cm in height and a weight of over 300 kg for a red deer. All types of deer have an elegant body, thin, slender legs, a long neck and a relatively small head, which is crowned with antlers. Deer antlers have a specific branched shape, the number of lateral processes is at least three and can increase depending on the age and type of deer. The shape of the horns also depends on the type of animal. The horns are formed by bone tissue (unlike the horns of bovid animals, in which they consist of horny substance) and are shed annually. Only males wear antlers, with the exception of reindeer, in which both sexes have antlers.

Female deer are antlerless.

The tail of deer is relatively short; in some species it can be fluffy and spread out like a flower. All types of deer have patronizing connotation often brown in color (reindeer are gray), often there are white or yellowish spots on the body (for example, sika deer, axis and fallow deer). Many species of deer are characterized by a so-called “mirror” spot. white fur on the animal's rump. It performs a signaling function because it is clearly visible while running: this way the fawn does not lose sight of its mother in dense thickets, and other deer are warned of danger in time by seeing the flashing croup of its fellow deer.

Usually deer move in leaps.

The distribution range of deer is very wide - they are found throughout the northern hemisphere: in Europe, Asia and North America. Almost all types of deer are forest dwellers, except for the reindeer that lives in the tundra. Different types inhabit various types of forests: mountainous, lowland, dry woodlands or swampy swamps. These are mostly sedentary animals, sticking to a certain area of ​​the forest, and only species living in the north can make winter migrations in search of feeding places. Regular migrations are characteristic of reindeer: in summer, these animals go north to the shores of the Northern Arctic Ocean to escape from the annoying vileness; by winter they return south to the border of the taiga, where there are no such strong winds and frosts. In summer, deer live in herds of 3-5 individuals, only males and females stay separately during the birth of offspring.

By winter, deer herds become larger and can include up to 30-50 individuals.

The character of these animals is rather secretive and timid, although where they are fed, they quickly get used to the proximity of humans.

Deer feed on a variety of plant foods - branches of trees and shrubs, herbs, various fruits (acorns, chestnuts, nuts, fruits), sometimes they eat lichens, berries and mushrooms. Reindeer eat mainly tundra lichens (moss moss), which is why their diet is very low in protein. To meet the need for protein food, they are forced to gnaw on shed antlers, bones, and even eat bird eggs. All deer love to lick salt; to do this, they visit salt licks - special places in which the soil is rich in mineral salts.

The deer eats the pine needles.

Deer breed once a year. For northern species, the rut occurs in August-October; deer living in the south reproduce all year round. Usually silent, deer transform during the rut.

A male deer roars loudly, his cry carries through the forest for a kilometer.

For their vocal exercises, males choose a permanent place where they trample the ground with their hooves and break branches. In general, during the breeding season, deer are very warlike - they break bushes with their antlers, peel off the bark of trees, and when they meet an opponent, they engage in battle. Fights among deer are by no means arbitrary.

Mating fight of deer.

The rivals do not disperse until they find out who is stronger, and the stronger does not give mercy to the weaker (unless he takes flight); often deer harm each other severe injuries- they break horns, cause deep wounds, and deaths are known.

In addition to butting, deer can fight with an opponent with their front legs, rearing up.

The winning male collects a harem of 3-10 females. After the end of the rut, males shed their antlers, and new ones grow back for the next season. Pregnancy of deer lasts on average 6-7 months. Usually a female gives birth to 1, less often 2-3 fawns. Although fawns can stand on their legs from the first hours of their lives, they prefer to lie down in a secluded place for the first week.

All species of deer have variegated cubs (except reindeer), which perfectly camouflage them in the forest.

The female feeds the cubs with milk for 3-5 months, but the young remain with their mother throughout the fall and winter until the following spring.

The female brought the fawn into the herd.

Deer become sexually mature in the third year of life, but due to high competition with older animals, they begin to mate only at the age of 4-5 years. Deer live up to 20 years, but in nature they die at 10-12 years of age.

In nature, deer have many enemies: different parts range they can be hunted by wolves, lynxes, bears, pumas, leopards, tigers. Snowy winters greatly affect the number of deer. The fact is that it is difficult for deer to get food from under deep snow, and high snow cover makes movement in the forest very difficult. As a result, deer, weakened from lack of food, become easy prey for predators. Some exception is reindeer, which is well adapted to move through the snow and is excellent at digging out reindeer moss in the snow.

Deer have always been a favorite prey for humans; hunting them was considered the preserve of the aristocracy. Despite this, the populations of many deer species are well preserved. This is facilitated by both the high fertility of these animals and special measures for their resettlement. In areas where deer are protected, they are not afraid of humans and frequent roadsides, campsites and the outskirts of small towns. Some deer species have become rare due to the destruction of natural habitats. For example, David's deer has completely disappeared in nature and the population of this species is maintained by breeding in zoos.

Interesting quizzes for children about animals that live in the forest, which children can see in the zoo, about domestic animals. All quiz questions are accompanied by answers.

Quiz "Who am I?"

■ “I am very big, about two meters tall, and my weight is 350 kg. I have brown fur, small ears and a tail. I can walk on my hind legs and climb trees in search of food. And I eat fish, berries, I can feast on ants, worms and beetle larvae. I spend the whole winter hibernating, and in the spring I come out of the den thin, hungry and angry.” (Bear.)

■ “I live in the Far North. I eat fish and seals. I really love the sea. A thick layer of fat under the skin and long white fur protect me from hypothermia. And my paws are like flippers, so I swim well and am not afraid to swim far into the sea.” (Polar bear.)

■ “I have a sharp muzzle, erect ears, and a very finely developed sense of smell. I'm very gluttonous. I eat meat, attacking deer, elk, and rodents, but sometimes, when I can’t find anything, I subsist on plant foods—berries. I like to hunt at night, alone. Sometimes I chase prey for hours, running not even a single kilometer. But in winter, to feed ourselves, we gather in flocks.” (Wolf.)

■ “I am a fat funny animal with sharp front teeth. My house is called a hut. I choose a small river or stream with running water as a place for my hut. I cut down tree branches with my teeth and build a dam from them to maintain the water at a constant level and always have an underwater connection with my home. There are two “rooms” in the hut: a bedroom and a storage room.” (Beaver, or beaver.)

■ “My sense of smell is very keen. The biggest delicacy for me is field mice. A mouse squeaks a little and I can hear it a hundred meters away, even in winter, when it hides under the snow. I can eat up to 20 of them a day. I hunt at night, and during the day I like to rest. They often call me a red-haired cheat." (Fox.)

■ “I live with my family in a hole, which I dug with my front paws and covered with soft grass and fluff. I'm very careful. Before approaching the hole, I will make several jumps to the side, then several jumps to the other side, and only then I jump into my house. In winter, in order to be invisible in the snow, I change my fur coat.” (Hare.)

■ “I have very beautiful antlers, but every winter I have to shed them. The body is covered with beautiful small light specks. The wool protects me well from frost, and my wide hooves prevent me from falling through the snow. I'm proud good eyesight, and my hearing and sense of smell make it possible to detect danger without much difficulty.” (Deer.)

■ “I look like a clumsy fat mouse with big cheeks. I have round shiny eyes, short legs and a pointed little tail.

I build a hole at a depth of 1-2 meters underground, which consists of several “rooms”: in one I sleep in winter, and in the other I store supplies. Sometimes they keep me at home, in a cage.” (Hamster.)

■ “I, small and gray, build myself a hole either in a field or in a forest, under the roots of trees in a secluded place. My mink looks like bird's Nest. Here I stock up on seeds, berries, nuts, dry buds and roots of herbs and trees. In winter, I often leave my hole to replenish my supplies. To do this, I dig special tunnels and move along them.” (Mouse.)

■ “I, a kind, fussy animal, live everywhere. I have a long bushy tail and beady eyes. The tail, almost equal to the length of my body (about 20 cm), serves as a pole and umbrella, allowing me to maintain balance and jump along the branches. There are small tassels on the ears that protect my ears from frost. On very frosty days I sit in a hollow tree and eat acorns, dry mushrooms, and nuts.” Squirrel.

■ “I am a small animal with velvety fur dark gray colors. I have strong front legs that look like large shoulder blades. Claws grow on them, with which I dig the earth and throw it back. I have eyes, but they are just tiny beads covered with fur and skin. I don’t need eyes, since I constantly live underground in complete darkness. But I have a great sense of smell. I smell earthworm a few meters away." (Mole.)

Quiz "At the Zoo"

■ “My body is unusually heavy, it can weigh as much as a large truck. It is precisely in order to hold such a weight that my legs are thick and look like huge columns. I have tusks with which I defend myself. The most noticeable part of my body is my trunk. I like to eat grass, fruits and tree leaves.” (Elephant.)

■ “I live in the bush tropical forest, where the sun's rays break through the crowns of dense trees in thin strips. That's why my skin is covered with stripes that look like these patches of light. I strong beast. I eat wild boars, deer, antelopes. To satisfy my hunger, I need about nine kilograms of meat a day.” (Tiger.)

■ “I am a strong animal. My roar is like thunder, and my mane gives me a menacing appearance. I live in warm countries, in sandy places, so my skin is sand-colored. I sleep more often during the day, and at night I hunt zebras, gazelles and antelopes. Although I am the king of animals, I am easy to train and can perform various acts in the circus.” (A lion.)

■ “My body is covered with tough, thick gray skin, which protects well from insect bites and bush branches. The feet have small hooves. I eat grass and young branches and leaves. But mine main feature- the famous horn on the forehead. When I am in danger, I lower my head and strike with my horn.” (Rhinoceros.)

■ “Everyone knows me. I look like a person, but unlike him, I have a tail, with which I hold onto the branches while I pick fruits with my hands and bring them to my mouth with my feet. My favorite pastime is making faces.” (Monkey.)

■ “The ancient Greeks called me “river horse.” Firstly, I spend a lot of time in the water, and secondly, I resemble a horse. I have such big wide nostrils and small ears. I am a very large animal: 4 meters long and 3.5 tons in weight. I eat river grass." (Hippopotamus.)

■ “My height can reach a height of six meters. On the head there are ears and funny little horns covered with leather. I have no fangs or claws. But there is an unusually long tongue, sometimes reaching 45 cm. With this tongue I deftly pluck leaves from thorny plants, without even injecting yourself. Although my front legs are longer than my hind legs, I run fast and can outrun a horse. I sleep standing up and drink water with my legs spread wide apart, because my long neck doesn’t bend at all.” (Giraffe.)

■ “I have thick gray skin, a small head with ears sticking up, very long and strong hind legs and small front legs. I am a rather large animal (about two meters in height), but I jump like a grasshopper - far and high. The most noticeable thing about me is the pouch, which is located in the lower abdomen, between the legs. My image is on the Australian coat of arms." (Kangaroo.)

■ “I look like a little horse: I have hooves, a mane, a tail. I run fast. I have excellent eyesight and good memory. But the color is striped. I have many enemies: tigers, lions, hyenas and other predators. To protect ourselves from enemies, I and my other relatives unite in groups. I am listed in the Red Book." (Zebra.)

■ “I feel quite good where other animals would die from hunger and thirst. I carry my food and drink with me in my humps. Before starting another trip, I eat and drink several times during the day. Then my hump alone can weigh 45 kilograms! But by the end of the journey my hump becomes empty and falls to the side.” (Camel.)
