THE WONDERS OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM

other. Pets are very popular among children.

They are more loyal and enjoyable than cats. They are more playful and friendlier than cats.
They can be your real friends and understand what you mean, so they are more intelligent
than cats. They are more energetic than cats. But cats are cute and some of them are prettier
than dogs such as Van Cats. However they can scratch you when they are angry. Horses are
stronger than a person. They are as loyal as dogs and more intelligent than dogs.
Dolphins are very enjoyable, too. They are the most intelligent of all because they can
communicate with each other and talk. They are also very friendly.
Parrots are more colourful and talkative than the other pets, but butterflies are the most
colourful of all animals. Butterflies live only one day. On the other hand, parrots live longer
than many of other animals. Some of them can live for 100 years or more.

are the fastest of all. Snakes aren’t as dangerous as we think. They are more useful than we
think. Because they eat mice. Mice are smaller than snakes. They are also very awful, but
