An animal is one of millions of multicellular eukaryotic organisms that are members of the Animalia biological kingdom. It’s estimated more than seven million different animals have been on our planet, living or extinct. To date, people have scientifically described more than 1.5 million living animals. To be classified as an animal it needs to breath oxygen, consume organic material (heterotroph), be able to move on its own (mobility) and reproduction of the species requires a male and a female. An animal can be as small as 8.5 micrometers or as large as 110 feet. Animals can have one of three diets, they can eat just (herbivore), they can eat just meat (carnivore) or eat both plants and meat (omnivore).
Animal can be found everywhere on Earth, no matter the location or climate. Some animals live in hot, tropical environments, while others live in dry, polar environments. In hot, tropical habitats near the equator you can find monkeys. In cold, dry habitats near the poles you can find penguins. In high altitude habitats on mountains, you can find mountain goats. In the ocean, below sea level you can find sharks and jellyfish. Animals have had hundreds of millions of years to evolve and survive in any environment. There isn’t any habitat on our planet that isn’t called home by at least one animal species.
