The Kindom Animalia is a division of life that includes all the organisms that are classified as animals. They tend to have a multi-cellular structure. They consume other organic tissue to feed themselves. They are responsive to outside stimulus. They are motile durring some stage of life. Unlike plants, they do not have a cell wall.
The Animal Kingdom has the largest number of organisms yet recorded. It includes sponges, worms, insects, birds, mammals, crustations, as well as humans.
The Animal Kingdom is one of the five kingdoms in evolutionary biological science. The other four kingdoms are
- Plants, not including fungi -- the Kingdom Plantae
- Mushrooms and other fungus -- the Kingdom Fungi
- Eukaryotic organisms that do not fall under the other eukaryotic kingdoms, animalia, plantae, and fungi -- the Kingdom Protista
- Bacteria and other prokaryotic organisms -- the Kingdom Monera
