Animals are eukaryotic organisms with many cells. They do not use light to get energy as plants do. Animals use different ways to get energy from other living things. They may eat other living things, though some are parasites or have photosynthetic protists as symbionts.
Etymology[]
The word Animal comes from the Latin word anima, meaning "soul". Later, animale was used, meaning "living being, a being that breathes". Before 1500, the word beast was used a lot more than animal.[1]
