An animal is a living creature that can move around, breathe, grow, and reproduce.

The word ‘animal’ comes from a Latin term ‘animalis’, which means ‘having breath’.

Animals are found all over the world in all kinds of environments.

There are millions of different types of animals including mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, and insects.

Every animal has its own unique set of characteristics that make it special.

Animals can be as tiny as a flea, or as large as a blue whale, the biggest creature on earth.

All animals need food and water to survive, but what they eat can greatly vary.

For example, lions are carnivores, which means they eat other animals.

On the other hand, cows are herbivores, which means they eat plants.

Animals play an important role in their environments, helping to balance nature’s systems.

Just think of bees, which help flowers to grow by pollinating them.

Understanding and caring for animals can help make the world a better place for all living things.

So next time you see an animal, remember that it’s a unique and important part of our world.
