What animals would you see?

We reviewed that a habitat is a place where plants and animals live. We then worked in groups and listed what animals can be found in our backyard at home, around our school and at the beach.

Group 1 - Animals in my backyard: dogs, snakes, lizards, cats, birds, chickens.
Group 2 - Animals around my school: squirrels, snakes, birds, worms, ants.
Group 3 - Animals at the beach: crabs, starfisch, seahorse, fish, stingray, whales, sharks.
Group 4 - Animals at the beach: catfish, starfish, sharks, crabs, birds, fish.

During our closing, a discussion ensued regarding what animals would be found at a beach. Some felt a whale would not be found on a beach. Reasons were given as to why. In the end, it was agreed that a beach is the place where the sea meets the land. This was followed by a short video clip to reinforce the definition of beach.

Can you list any animals that you would find at the beach?
