Hi everyone,

I'm a new user, youngancient, and this is my very first post on this amazing platform. Please make sure to read and drop a like and comment

Pets are primarily animals which are kept and nutured by human beings for companionship or entertainment. Pets are also known as companion animals. According to the old stories my Dad told me, animals who currently live with humans were all wild and man brought them home from his hunting activities to stay with him and be cared for by man. So that's the reason why we have animals as our friends/pets perfectly living with us at home. I later grew up to understand that this process of making species fit for human environment is known as domestication

Popular pets kept by man are dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, rats, mice, parrots, pigs, alligators, crocodiles, snakes etc. Personally, I love and have had dogs and cats before. It's really amazing having them around and I also would love to someday owe a parrot as a pet

Most people keep pets for companionship, to protect home or property or to perceive the attractiveness of animals. I mean it's gives me great joy to just stare at my pets, they're so cute and lovely.

According to research, Americans are the largest pets owners in the world. They keep them indoors and train them better to behave like kids. In Nigeria, we mostly keep pets for protection of home and property

Benefits of pets I adm

Firstly, I love the attractive appearances, intelligence and the amazing relatable personality of pets especially cats and dogs. These pets display their level of intelligencee in different forms in areas like sensing danger/dangerous people, sensing weak emotions of owners and all. Cats and dogs have cute relatable personality with humans, they are best for companionship.

Secondly, pets provide physical benefits for the owner/guardian. In cases where you take them (e.g dog) out for a walk, you and both the dog get exercised, fresh air and the benefit of social interaction.

Last but not the least, pets also provide emotional benefits to the owners especially the elderly and lonely people who normally don't have adequate interaction with people. Again, they gladdens the hearts of their owners with their playful acts thereby bringing peace and joy

I personally love their cute and playful nature. It's really makes me happy being around them. Thanks for reading.

What a confusing way of differentiating.

When I came across this picture, I saw clearly that both animals were seemingly alike but different from each other and I was really hoping to know the difference between the two. Then went ahead to read the write up on the picture only for me to see that the crocodile is next to the alligator and I was like whaaaaasat!!!!!🤷😲.

How can one know the difference with such a confusing way of pointing out the differences 😦. Please I'm asking all users on this platform because I wish to know the difference between a crocodile and an alligator.🙏

Please help me out everyone 🙋🏽‍♀️.
