This category is classified as Pet, Plant, Wild Animal, Fungus, MGE, Virus, Mold, and Bacteria. 1) Pet is any domesticated or tamed animal that is kept as a companion and cared for affectionately. 2) Wild animal in a urban system is any non-domesticated animal that has adapted its lifestyle to living in the cities or in suburban neighborhoods. 3) A plant is a living and natural organism of the kind exemplified by trees, shrubs, herbs, grasses, ferns, and mosses, typically growing in a permanent site, absorbing water and inorganic substances through its roots, and synthesizing nutrients in its leaves by photosynthesis using the green pigment chlorophyll. 4) Mobile genetic element (MGE), also known as transposable element (TE), is a type of moving genetic material that can either move around within a genome or jump across different genomes. 5) Viruses may have arisen from mobile genetic elements that gained the ability to move between cells. They may be descendants of previously free-living organisms that adapted a parasitic replication strategy. Viruses can leave the cell and move to other cells and organisms; mobile genetic elements generally just move around the genome within a cell. 6) Fungus is any member of a kingdom of organisms called Fungi that lack chlorophyll, leaves, true stems, and roots, reproduce by spores, and live as saprotrophs or parasites. The group includes moulds, mildews, rusts, yeasts, and mushrooms. 7) A mold is a microscopic fungus that grows and lives on plant or animal matter or on non-organic objects. Most molds are made up of filaments and reproduce through the production of spores. Spores spread by air, water, or insects. There are many thousands of species of fungi.
