Top 10 Amazing Facts About Animals

Top 10 Amazing Facts About AnimalsWhen it comes to religion, specially the Bible, humans are not animals and they are created by our God. But when it comes to Science, humans are classified as animals. Charles Darwin once stated on his "Theory of Evolution" that men came and evolved from apes. It's up to you to believe where you really came from, but I believe that I am created by our mighty Creator. On the other hand, animals belong to the kingdom Animalia. Most of the animals can reproduced using their reproductive organs. Also all animals have the ability to move from one place to another to find food, a better and safe place to live and adapt to its surrounding.
