When its breathing.

Maddi T. said...

It grows or if its an animal, you can feel its heartbeat. Another thign would be if its moving around frequently.

If something is alive, it should be breathing. It should also have a pulse. Sometimes, if an animal is moving, it could still be dead. Like twitching. Sometimes, it is the dead animal's reaction to twitch.

You can tell if an animal is alive by its pulse. If you don't feel any thumping then you will know that the animal does not have a heart beat, and that means it is not alive.

Actually, if the animal was moving, it might just be having spasms after death, it happens quite often.

~It's moving (For a plant this step doesn't count.)

You know when it's living when you stab it and it screams and then you knock its slinky out of its hands and it cries like Mr. Ruby, then you know it's alive.

If your pet or friend or any other thing close to you shows doesn't show any of these then I suggest you put on a funeral for them.

You can tell if something is alive by looking at it in different climates or weather. Plants do most of their growth in the spring, summer, and fall. The weather conditions such as rain and sunsets and rises are also connected through plants and animals.
