A collection of images about Animal.
The biodiversity of the animals is mind-boggling.

In one of the many unique ways animals obtain food, rancher ants drink sugary juice from aphids (Aphis fabae) in return for the aphids' protection, an example of symbiosis and mutualism.

Frogs and toads undergo holometabolism: frog larvae, called tadpoles, hatch from their eggs and change into adult frogs, which look and act differently. Tadpoles have gills and fins and completely live, breathe, and eat in water. Adult frogs have lungs and legs and live, breath, and eat out of water.

Bees, like many insects, pollinate flowers—transferring the flowers' pollen in return for nectar, which the bees drink as food. Flowers are often adapted to attract and accept only one species of animal.
