More About clade
A long time ago, scientists made a way to group animals. They looked at how they are the same. This is how clades were made. Clades help us see the links in nature.
Clades are in our lives when we learn about pets. They help us know which pets are close to each other. This helps us care for them better.
In the future, we may find new clades. This can help us learn more about life on Earth. It is fun to think about what we will find!
