What every animal needs

The video discusses the basic needs essential for the survival of humans and animals, including food, water, oxygen, and shelter. It highlights how different animals have varying requirements for these needs. For instance, while humans need regular meals, some animals like snakes can go weeks without eating. Water is crucial, yet kangaroo rats can survive without drinking by obtaining moisture from their food. Oxygen is vital for all, with land animals breathing air and aquatic animals using gills. Shelter protects from environmental conditions, with birds using nests and other animals burrowing underground. Despite living in diverse environments, humans share these basic needs with other animals.
