ABSTRACT

Throughout history, humans have depended upon animals for food, power, and companionship. Humans have worshipped animals such as the tiger, leopard, and lion. Even today, animals seem to symbolize a special power; one can purchase a Jaguar, Eagle, or Ram automobile. The major role of animals, however, has been to provide food and to supply power to help humans cultivate their crops, build their shelters, and transport their supplies.
