"Animals" is a broad term that refers to a wide variety of multicellular organisms belonging to the kingdom Animalia. Animals are characterized by their ability to move, consume organic matter for energy, and lack cell walls. The animal kingdom includes a diverse range of species with various shapes, sizes, and behaviors.
Animals can be classified into different groups based on various characteristics, including their body structure, reproductive methods, and evolutionary relationships. Some major groups of animals include mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates (such as insects, arachnids, mollusks, and crustaceans).
Each animal species has unique adaptations that allow them to survive and thrive in their respective environments. Animals play crucial roles in ecosystems, contributing to biodiversity and often participating in complex food webs.
