Learn How to Say the Animals in Spanish!

HOLA from Dan, Megan, Mark, Jane, Arthur, Phillip, Chelsea, Kelsey, Mary, Lacey, and Andy!!!

It is important to know Spanish because America borders Mexico and most people in Mexico speak Spanish. If we know Spanish we can talk to them. Animals are important because dogs are household pets and without dogs we would be pretty lonely. The same goes for cats. They are household pets and we would be lonely without them. Cows are important because they produce meat for us to eat. They also keep the ground fertilized with their manure. Fish are important because some of them eat algae and we can also eat fish. You should also know the animals names in Spanish because if you go to a zoo in Spain you will be able to understand what the signs say.
