Animals are living beings, that is, they are born, grow, reproduce and die. Each species has its own characteristics, such as: color, size, type of food, environment where it lives, among others.
Animals also have different forms of locomotion, being able to walk, swim, jump, fly, crawl or simply not move.
In size, animals vary greatly, and may be considered small, such as fleas, leeches and mosquitoes; medium, like many frogs, dogs and anteaters; and large animals, such as cattle, elephants and whales.
The number of animal paws is also variable, according to the group to which they belong. Some of them do not have legs, like sponges and snakes; others have two legs, like birds and bats; there are also those with four legs, such as giraffes and dogs; there are those with six legs, like insects; those with eight legs, like spiders and crabs; and even those with numerous legs, such as centipedes.
