Animals, as a whole, are central symbols in ancient religious and mystical practices
Animals
The entities "ANIMALS" encompass a diverse range of living beings that play significant roles in both ecological and spiritual contexts. According to the surviving literature, animals and humans contribute to the carbon cycle by exhaling carbon dioxide, which is then utilized by plants. This interaction demonstrates the sympathy of living organisms in maintaining the natural environment. In addition to their ecological significance, animals, including fishes, are revered as profound manifestations of divine intelligence or power by many ancient cultures. These creatures were often worshiped, symbolizing divine presence and wisdom in various spiritual and religious practices of antiquity.
