Animals

Animals are living organisms that belong to the kingdom Animalia. They are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms that are typically characterized by their ability to move, consume organic material for energy, and respond to stimuli from their environment. Animals are diverse in form and function, ranging from simple organisms like sponges to complex vertebrates like mammals. They reproduce sexually or asexually and have specialized sensory and nervous systems that allow them to interact with their surroundings. Most animals are classified into various phyla based on shared characteristics, and they play crucial roles in ecosystems as predators, prey, and decomposers.
