Animals History
Throughout history animals have existed longer than humans. if you look at the picture on the left, it shows a cat that is mad. Animals are small, big, strong, weak, and fast or slow. Animals are creatures that dominated the earth millions of years ago, now there simple pets or are displayed at zoos. Cats are the most common pet in a household, They are felines that have claws and a tail. Dogs are also a common household pet. My point here is, is that animals are now under human control and can't harm anybody.
Evolution
Animals today don't look like the animals that were in the past. Animals in the past had many different characteristics. Many changes in animals have happened, such as, whales used to be able to walk on land! If you look to the right side of this, you can see a tree of evolution. Alligators didn't have legs back then, they just swam through the water and ate any fish that swam on by. Animals are special because each species can do something another can't do. Animals are amazing with all of these abilities and skills. If we could somehow learn how they got these abilities then we would be almost like them.
