How many animals do you know? There are millions of animal species in the world. We can divide them in several types. Man is a mammal, just like dogs and cats and monkeys and cows and so on.
Flies, mosquitoes, butterflies and bees are insects. Crocodiles, turtles, lizards and snakes are reptiles. Owls and eagles and parrots are birds. Chickens and ducks and turkeys are poultry. A shark is a fish but a whale is a mammal. Then there are spiders and frogs and huge numbers of other types of animals.
The animals that we keep at home are pets. Do you have a pet? The most often kept pet animals in the Czech Republic are dogs and cats.
If we eat animal meat we sometimes call it different names. For example cow meat is beef, pig meat is pork.
Dogs and cats are soft to touch, because they are covered with fur. They are furry. People sometimes use animal fur to make clothes. They also use animal skin such as cow or pig skin to make leather clothes and accessories.
