Five ways that living things use water are:
1. Some mammals groom themselves with it.
Example: Cats lick themselves to groom themselves.
2. All animals drink water.
Example: Without water for a week, we would die.
3. Most animals clean themselves with it.
Example: We use water while we wash our hands.
4. Flying birds use water for flying.
Example: Birds use water as a "runway".
5. Fish use water to breathe.
Example: Fish breathe water the same way we breathe air.
