Animals are a very important part of our lives. We need animals in order to have meat. In some cases we use animal’s fur to make blankets or rugs. Animals are used for many different things in life. Plants and animals are both part of the ecosystem. They depend on one another for different requirements. These include food and nutrition, carbon dioxide, oxygen and the spread of seeds and fruits.
