As scientists say, an animal is any living thing (in­cluding people) that is not a plant. No one knows how many different species of wild plants and animals there are on our planet. People discover hundreds of new kinds every year. In what way are animals different from plants? This question is not always easy to an­swer. Animals and plants get their food differently: animals eat plants or other animals, while plants get their food from air and soil with the help of their leaves and roots. But we know that some plants catch and "eat" insects. Also animals can move about when plants grow in the same place but there are some plants that can travel and some animals that never leave their place. As you see, plants and animals have very much in common. There are more than 300,000 different species of plants on the Earth. Some plants grow very tall and live a very long life. Other plants are so tiny that you can see them only through a microscope. The same is true about animals. You can find plants and an­imals in the oceans and deserts, in mountains and in cold tundra plains. When people first learned to culti­vate plants and domesticate animals, our civilization began. We can't live without them. Plants are able to use sunlight to build themselves up. They use carbon dioxide gas and "breathe out" life-giving oxygen. They support life on the planet.
