Animaux is the French word for "animals." It refers to a wide variety of living organisms that belong to the kingdom Animalia. Animals can be classified into different groups, such as mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. They play essential roles in ecosystems, contributing to biodiversity and the balance of nature. Animals exhibit diverse behaviors and adaptations that help them survive in their environments. Some are herbivores, feeding on plants, while others are carnivores, preying on other animals. Many species also have unique characteristics, such as camouflage for protection or migration for seasonal changes.
