Sometimes we may think that animals are not very useful to us . In fact they
have played an important role in our life . human beings have treated the long path
of civilization riding on animals . Their significance has reduced to some extent in
our life due to scientific progress,but we still continue to depend on them for many
four needs.
Animals include all herbivores,carnivores microorganism,quadrupeds,
birds,reptiles insects fishes and so on.Herbivores eat plants and trees.Carnivores
need on other animals.Microorganisms feed on dead animals and plants .Thus a
of food chain is formed. The nature maintains its balance in this way.

is things and they give us services .
We get many types of food from the animals . the chief forms of food are milk
and meat .Many kinds of animals are reared or domesticated for milk such as
Buffalo,cow,goat etc.In some specific regions,other animals are also used for
milk,such as camel in Rajasthan or yak in ladakh. Many animals are reared for
meat, such as goat,sheep,fish,hen,etc.The animals are also reared for types of
foods,such as hen for eggs and bees for honey.
Beside being a major source of food,the animals also provide us many type
of things, such as wool skin,bone,hair,etc. Which are used for a variety purposes.

The animals also give us many kinds of service . Their services formed a veep
important part of the life of people a few decades ago. People depended on the animal
for transportation and agriculture . with the scientific progress , dependence for
their service has reduced to some extent. But they continue to be an important
part of our life. Even today they are used for carrying things and people
