🇬🇧 Flea meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card
noun
A flea is a tiny, flat, brown insect that lives in the fur or feathers of animals and drinks their blood by biting them. Fleas are so small you can hardly see them, but they have super strong legs that help them jump very high and very far, like tiny itchy superheroes. They can make animals (and people) feel very itchy, so we try to keep them away with baths and special medicine.
