live animals
Not stuffed specimens
Live animals are creatures that are alive, as opposed to dead, preserved, or artificial representations.
The phrase appears in regulatory and commercial contexts—shipping restrictions, import laws, pet store inventory, wildlife trade: No live animals allowed in cargo.
It distinguishes breathing creatures from taxidermy, meat products, or animal-derived goods.
