Elephant
Elephant is the generic term for the popular and which are called the family members Elephantidae, a group of mammals Proboscidea elefantídeos of large, of which there are three species in the world today, two African (Loxodonta sp.) And Asian (elephas sp .). There is also the mammoth (Mammuthus sp.), Now extinct. Until recently, it was believed that there were only two living species of elephants, the African elephant and Asian elephant, a minor species. However, recent studies suggest that DNA was, in fact, two species of African elephant: Loxodonta africana, the savannah, and Loxodonta cyclotis, living in forests. Elephants are the largest land animals of today weighing up to 12 tonnes and measuring four meters on average in height. Its most distinctive features are the prey of ivory.

Sheep
Sheep
The sheep (Ovis Aries) is a domestic herbivorous mammal of the family cattle, the subfamily and goats of the genus Ovis. The man raises sheep for meat, milk, wool and his skin with which it prepares a leather called basane.
It is a ruminant mammal that exists today, especially in its domesticated form, although six wildlife species still exist. Like all ruminants, sheep are walking on two ungulates (an even number) fingers (Cetartiodactyla). They probably descended from a mixture of sub-species of species of wild sheep (Ovis orientalis Ovis gmelini or) the West, 54 chromosomes from the Middle East.
This is one of the first animals to be domesticated and are especially valued for their wool and meat. Sheep's wool coat is the animal most widely used and is usually harvested by cutting with shears (shearing).
Sheep are raised throughout the world and played a central role in many civilizations. At the moment, Australia, New Zealand, Patagonia and the United Kingdom are the major areas devoted to farming.
Key animal in the history of agriculture, the sheep had a huge impact on human culture. Sheep are often associated with rustic scenes. The sheep appeared in many legends, as the Golden Fleece and the great religions, especially the Abrahamic religions. In some rites, sheep are used as sacrificial animals (especially among Muslims during the Eid el-Kebir).

Chicken
Chicken
A chicken is a young chicken of the subspecies Gallus gallus domesticus, for its high chair.
Traditionally in France, the chicken is slaughtered between forty and seventy days. The selection of breeding and optimization of nutrition have led to faster growth.
Consumption
We distinguish the following parts in the cutting of the chicken:
* Nets, or "breasts" in Quebec, pectoral mass, they sometimes tend to dry out during cooking toast, with a white wine
* The thighs;
* Feet;
* Wings;
* Gizzards;
* The liver;
* The fool-l'y-leash.
In France and other countries, poultry meat is one of the cheapest [ref. necessary].
The chicken is cooked in many ways. These include:
* Roast chicken, which can be prepared in a dish in the oven or on the spit on a rotisserie, the chicken can be stuffed with an aromatic preparation;
* Various preparations sauce;
* Fried chicken is typical, among others, the southern United States.

Dog
Dog
The dog is a domestic mammal of the Canidae family, close to the wolf and fox. Once consolidated in a species in its own right, known by the scientific name Canis canis familiaris or Canis, its origin is probably different [1], [2]. By default, the scientists include all breeds of dogs in a group called Canis lupus familiaris, a subspecies of Canis lupus, to which also belong to other sub-species like the gray wolf. Dogs became domesticated chestnuts have created their own homogeneous group who are considered as sub-species of Canis lupus, such as dingoes and dogs singer.
There are many breeds of dogs. About three-quarters of those recognized are very old and from natural selection on morphology, combined with artificial selection on the behavior (examples: Siberian Husky, Berger de Brie). The last quarter came from a recent artificial selection (eg German Shepherd, Golden Retriever), which are often the most popular car modeled at the convenience of man. Some breeds of dogs were created from crossbreeding in the past. In our day, so a dog can be called pure breed by law in countries governed by the Canine Federation internationnale (including those from North America and Europe), it must be recorded in books of the origins of his country of birth. Without such recording, a dog, would seem to belong to a race, may have crosses in his pedigree and should therefore be considered as such by law. [3] [4]
It is also a name for several species of canids such Atelocynus Speothos and even rodents of the genus Cynomys (prairie dog).

Dolphin
Dolphin
Delfins dolphins or whales are mammals animals belonging to the family Delphinidae. Are perfectly adapted to live in the aquatic environment, there are 37 known species of dolphins, among saltwater and freshwater. The most common species is Delphinus delphis.
Swimmers are privileged sometimes jump up to five meters above the water, can swim at a speed of up to 40 mph and dive to great depths. Their diet consists of fish and squid. Can live 25 to 30 years and give birth to a cub at a time. They live in groups, are sociable animals, both among themselves and with other animals and humans.
His intelligence is of great many studies by scientists. In captivity you can train them to perform variety of tasks, some of great complexity. Are extremely kidders, since no animal, except man, has as great a variety of behaviors that are not directly linked to basic biological activities such as feeding and reproduction. They have the extraordinary sense of echo-or biosonar or echoes for guidance, they use to swim through barriers or to hunt their prey.

Deer
Deer
The deer are mammals of the order of artiodactyls belonging, in strict sense, to the Cervidae family. However, several similar species of other families of the same order, are also called deer. In Portugal this term is usually used to refer to the red-deer.
Are found worldwide, except in Australia (the species that live there, although in the wild, were introduced in colonization). The males of most species are lop or antlers (not horns, what distinguishes the group from other ruminants) in the skull, which are renewed annually. Are used as a weapon during the season of mating, in fights between males. The deer have no lop long upper canines, which use as a weapon. The deer are polygamous.
The deer are herbivores with food due to lack specific expertise of your stomach, not digest fibrous vegetation such as grass. Thus, fed mainly on buds, leaves, fruits and lichens. Have high nutritional requirements for minerals that allow them to grow new lop every year.
Certain species of deer throughout the Americas were almost exterminated because its meat considered a delicacy. Many species are endangered.
The lesser known is the deer Muntiacus putaoensis, found in 1997 in Myanmar, with only 45 cm tall.

Rabbit
Rabbit
Rabbits are lagomorphs are mammals of the Leporidae family in general of the genera Oryctolagus and Sylvilagus. Characterized by the tail and short ears and long legs. These small mammals are found easily in many regions of the planet. The term is used to refer to the species from eight genera, including the rabbit-in-Amami (Pentalagus), the American rabbits (Sylvilagus), and pygmy rabbit (Brachylagus). Some authors [1] include the gender Caprolagus in the group of rabbits (rabbit-Asian), but most classify it as belonging to the hare. The most common species is Oryctolagus cuniculus, and rabbit-European.
Classic episode of disruption was the introduction of eco-European rabbit in Australia. Brought to this country in the nineteenth century, that there is increased in mammalian unsuspected levels to see if free of natural predators and soon to become pests in the field. All efforts to control the situation were useless until they inoculated the animals to infectious myxomatosis, a disease endemic among birds but the Brazilian has been fatal in 99% of cases.
The rabbits are mammals of the order of lagomorphs and the family of hares. It has long ears and legs - although smaller than those of hares true - have a short tail and not out as a corridor. The two genera of rabbits Oryctolagus are the most representative, of which the common European rabbit, Sylvilagus and with many North American species and tapiti or rabbit-to-kill Brazil. Most of its species usually gallery open ground, where several generations come in nests. Your body is always smaller than that of hares.

Monkey
Monkey
Monkey in the broadest sense, is the common name for all species of monkeys or apes, implemented in Brazil, narrowly, to cebídeos (or New World monkeys) in general. The economic designation, also used much in Brazil, usually applied to species of the genus Cebus, the South, and species of small, or sago, in the north.
In the strict sense, refers to the monkey species of primates belonging to the genus Macaca.
Most monkeys live in hot countries, are feeding fruits and seeds. Animals are generally intelligent, sociable. The so-called great apes (broad sense) - chimpanzee, gorilla, orangutan - are currently the closest animals to man, belonging to the family of hominids.

Cat
Cat
The cat or domestic cat (Felis silvestris catus) is a small carnivorous mammal of the Felidae. The cat is living close to humans for nearly 9500 years, [1] much earlier date prior to the estimated 3,500 to 8000 years [2].
The names derive from the current widespread cattus vulgar Latin word that refers to the wild cats especially in contrast to domestic cats, in Latin, they were called felis.
There are dozens of races, some hairless or tailless as a result of genetic mutations, and exist in a wide variety of colors. They are skillful predators can hunt more than one hundred different species of animals for food. They are also animals that can absorb some, and some have the ability to be trained to manipulate simple mechanisms.
They communicate with groans, hisses, grunts and about a hundred different vocalizations, [3] in addition to body language.
It is believed that the African wildcat (Felis silvestris lybica) is its immediate ancestor.
