  1. Goldfish · A goldfish has gills and lives in water. Gills mean it is a fish.
  2. Dog · A dog has fur and feeds milk to its babies. That makes it a mammal.
  3. True · Feathers help birds fly and stay warm. All birds have them.
  4. Gills · Gills let a fish take in air from the water. That is how fish breathe.
  5. Turtle · A turtle has dry, scaly skin. That is a reptile clue.
  6. Frog and toad · Frogs and toads live in water and on land. Both are amphibians.
  7. False · A dolphin breathes air and has fur as a baby. That makes it a mammal, not a fish.
