The animals (Latin: animal; Greekζῷον zóon; Hebrewבְּהֵמָה Behema, "animal, domestic animal, livestock"), which form an independent kingdom of nature on Earth alongside minerals, plants and humans, are souls living beings that have an independent etheric body and astral body, but no individual I. However, the I of the animals, the group soul of the animals belonging to each species and genus, lives as a spiritual reality on the astral plan. The entirety of the animal kingdom or the animal world is also called fauna (derived from Faunus, the Roman god of nature and the forest).
