Animals are a major group of mostly multicellular, eukaryotic organisms of the kingdom Animalia or Metazoa. Their body plan eventually becomes fixed as they develop, although some undergo a process of metamorphosis later on in their life. Most animals are motile, meaning they can move spontaneously and independently. All animals are also heterotrophs, meaning they must ingest other organisms for sustenance.

Most known animal phyla appeared in the fossil record as marine species during the Cambrian explosion, about 542 million years ago.

What animal should I choose for my animal abuse paper?
Q. For school I have to write a paper on animal abuse. I can only pick one animal that's abused to write it on, though. Which animal would be the easiest to write about? Links and information would be helpful, thank you.

A. Try to think of a really cute animal, or one that looks really sad. I think the younger, the more attention they will attract. Try a puppy, a kitten, or something like that. Good luck! =)

A. How about a Chimpanzee or other type of Simian. I know it's not an imaginative answer, but one could argue that they have the most recognisable characteristics, and you could draw on the similarities to humans.

A. All you need to do is make two equations: 15x + y + 0.25z = 100 x + y + z = 100 with x = the amount of dogs, y = the amount of cats and z = the amount of mice. Each with a minimum of 1.
