The young mutt appeared a little shy, even nervous perhaps, and I wondered if she’d attended some kind of dog training school at some point as she seemed to obediently walk by my side without any fuss whatsoever.

Wings also drive the body forward through the air. The faster a bird flies the more lift it gets from its wings. If it stops, it usually begins to sink towards the ground. Locomotion of AnimalsThe word "locomotion" means "moving from place to place". It comes from two Latin words: "locus", meaning "place" and "motio" meaning "movement". Animals can move from place to place in water, in air, or on land. Such movement does require work and their bodies must be lifted or moved forward or both.

Communication and Social Organization in the Animal KingdomObservations and experiments have shown that all animals have a certain "language".

The signals play an important part in the social life of these animals. The Big and Small in the Animal KingdomThe animal kingdom is divided into groups called classes. Fish is one class. Insects are another class. We ourselves belong to the class called mammals, along with the horses, elephants, monkeys and many others (mammals are animals that nurse their young on milk).
