An animal is a multicellular eukaryotic organism. Animals belong to the Animalia biological kingdom. There have been over 1.5 million different living animal species discovered by scientists. Some estimates say there have been over 7 million different types of animal species during the history of our planet. However, 99% of all species on our planet are extinct. Beyond a few exceptions, all animals breathe oxygen, consume some sort of organic material (plants, meat, etc.), reproduce with a male and female and can move.
