Mammals
Mammals are warm-blooded animals that give birth to live young and take care of them until they're mature enough to venture for themselves. But there are some exceptions. For example, the platypus and the echidna lay eggs and brood them like chickens, bats and sugargliders can fly (well, glide but what's the difference, we can't do it!) like birds, and whales like dolphins live in the water like fish while they don't have gills but breathe like us. I must say that mammals are some of the most interesting because they're so much like us and usually that's why they're a favorite for most people because they can relate to us in so many ways.
Mammals are the most featured animals at zoos, and most kids' favorites are lions, bears, elephants, tigers, big animals from faraway places which we don't usually find in our everyday world. Predators usually get to boys while cute and cuddly or friendly dolphin and kangaroos get to girls. And others like skunks aren't, well, y'know but they're all so unique. Most of us don't know they're characteristics let alone what skunks are for. If one animal was gone, the whole chain of animals will be affected. It's really sad to know that there are so many beloved animals threatened while some are close to extinction.
Animals are a gift of god to us. If they've never existed, we wouldn't have certain tv shows, movies, zoos, shops, clothing, products, medicines, and the most important of all, companions. Even so, if they weren't here to give us a start, we wouldn't be here. So we must all thank the helpless creatures by treating them like how you would like to be treated. They might not have the same intelligence, adaptabilities, and of course no imagination and not look like us, but we're all created equal, and we can't just name someone white, black, scaly, furry, or slimy. We're all the same no matter what.
