If you like, you can also count and colour the pictures on the ready made puzzles to make sure they are correct. Each row (that’s the line going across) can only have one of each animal! No duplicates allowed! Each column (that’s the line going up and down) also can only have one of each animal! And of course, each little box of 4 inside the big box can only have one of each animal too! Ready to have some fun and solve the animal Sudoku puzzles? Let’s get started!
