An '''animal''' is any creature which is a member of the [[Animalia]] kingdom, except [[human being]]s.
An '''animal''' is any creature which is a member of the [[Animalia]] kingdom, except [[human being]]s. It is of primary importance to distinguish the characteristics of people from animals, such as the eternal spirit, the right to "take dominion" over the natural world of animals and plants, and the prospect of enjoying [[eternal life]]. Liberals say that these things are of secondary importance.
Animals must eat [[plant]]s or other organisms to survive. The plants are called "producers" and the animals are "consumers". Animals have complex [[eukaryotic cell]]s, unlike bacteria which have much simpler [[prokaryote|prokaryotic]] cells. Animal cells do not have [[cell wall]]s, only structural [[protein]]s in the [[cell membrane]]; this allows the animal cell a degree of flexibility.
