1. Cat

 

 

• The cat (Felis catus) is a domestic species of small carnivorous mammal.
• The cat is similar in anatomy to the other felid species: it has a strong flexible body, quick reflexes, sharp teeth and retractable claws adapted to killing small prey.
•  A predator that is most active at dawn and dusk (crepuscular), the cat is a solitary hunter but a social species. 
• Like all felids, domestic cats are characterized by supple low-slung bodies, finely molded heads, long tails that aid in balance, and specialized teeth and claws that adapt them admirably to a life of active hunting.

• The dog or domestic dog, (Canis familiaris^[ or Canis lupus familiaris) is a domesticated descendant of the wolf which is characterized by an upturning tail. 
• The dog has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes.
• The dog is one of the two most ubiquitous and most popular domestic animals in the world (the cat is the other). 
• The dog evolved from the gray wolf into more than 400 distinct breeds.

3.Fish

 

 

• Fish are aquatic, craniate, gill-bearing animals that lack limbs with digits.
• The earliest organisms that can be classified as fish were soft-bodied chordates that first appeared during the Cambrian period.
• Most fish are ectothermic ("cold-blooded"), allowing their body temperatures to vary as ambient temperatures change, though some of the large active swimmers like white shark and tuna can hold a higher core temperature.
• Fish are abundant in most bodies of water.

4. Horse

 

 

• The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature, Eohippus, into the large, single-toed animal of today.
• Female horses, called mares, carry their young for approximately 11 months, and a young horse, called a foal, can stand and run shortly following birth.
•  Before the advent of mechanized vehicles, the horse was widely used as a draft animal, and riding on horseback was one of the chief means of transportation.

5. Hamsters

 

 

• Hamsters are the most common first pet for children.
• The best-known species of hamster is the golden or Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus), which is the type most commonly kept as pets.

7.Birds

 

 

• Birds are beautiful, majestic and delightful creatures
• There are about ten thousand living species, more than half of which are passerine, or "perching" birds.
• We’d recommend you take a look at budgies or canaries, as well as some smaller breeds of parrots.
• Some bird species of aquatic environments, particularly seabirds and some waterbirds, have further evolved for swimming.

• Rats are often considered unclean and even sometimes plain scary, but they are actually incredible as pets for kids.
• Rats are typically distinguished from mice by their size.
•  A good diet and keeping on eye on their health are also key.
