animal life
Beasts and birds
Animal life refers to animals collectively, especially as distinct from plants and other organisms.
The phrase emphasizes creatures as a category of living things: The island teems with animal life.
It can also mean the existence or lifestyle of animals: a documentary about animal life in the Arctic.
In philosophical or religious contexts, animal life may contrast with human spiritual existence.
