Fowl — This word which, in its most general sense, applies to anything that flies in the air (Genesis 1:20, 21), including the "bat" and "flying creeping things" (Leviticus 11:19-23 A.V.), and which frequently occurs in the Bible with this meaning, is also sometimes used in a narrower sense, as, for instance, III K., iv, 23, where it stands ...
Animal faith is the study of animal behaviours that suggest proto-religious faith. It is commonly believed that religion and faith are unique to humans, [1] [2] [3] largely due to the typical dictionary definition of the word religion (see e.g. Wiktionary or Dictionary.com) requiring belief in a deity, which has not been observed in non-human animals. [4]
Specific instances include Leviticus 1:2 (NIV): "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When any of you brings an offering to the Lord, bring as your offering an animal from either the herd or the flock.'" [10] There is not a consensus on the meaning of such animal sacrifices.
The Christian story of animals begins with their creation as described in Genesis.

The fish of the sea and the birds of the air are made on the fifth day, followed by the beasts of the earth on the sixth day. [4]

Because the evolution of domestic animals is ongoing, the process of domestication has a beginning but not an end. Various criteria have been established to provide a definition of domestic animals, but all decisions about exactly when an animal can be labelled "domesticated" in the zoological sense are arbitrary, although potentially useful.

Chimpanzees have been known to use tools for as long as they have been studied. Andrew Whiten found that chimpanzees not only use tools, but also conform to using the same method as the majority of individuals in the group. [53] This conformity bias is prevalent in human culture as well and is commonly referred to as peer pressure. [citation ...
This organization can be seen in chimpanzees, where the males, who are typically related, will cooperate in defense of the group's territory. [99] Evidence of this social system has also been found among Neanderthal remains in Spain [100] and in remains of Australopithecus and Paranthropus robustus groups in southern Africa.
