[[File:animals_preview.png|260px|right|thumb|Some of the many animals from {{MC}}.]]<br />
'''Animal''' refers to a category of [[Minecraft:mob]]s that are mainly based on real-life animals. Many other mobs and even some [[Minecraft:block]]s are also based on real life animals, but are not treated as such in ''Minecraft''. Most of these mobs are also called animals in many [[Minecraft:advancements]].<br />
<br />
Animals are usually either [[Minecraft:Mob#Passive mobs|passive]] (fleeing) or [[Minecraft:Mob#Neutral mobs|neutral]] (fighting), with the only exceptions being the [[Minecraft:Undead|undead mounts]] while ridden, [[Minecraft:hoglin]]s and [[Minecraft:killer bunnies]]{{only|java|short=1}}, which are [[Minecraft:Mob#Hostile mobs|hostile mobs]].<br />
<br />
== Properties ==<br />
Mobs mentioned on this page share the following properties:<br />
* They are classified as {{cd|Animal}} or {{cd|Water Animal}} in the game code.<br />
* Most of them can [[Minecraft:breed]].<br />
* Most follow the player if they are holding the item used to breed them.<br />
* Most of them trigger the "The Parrots and The Bats" and "Two By Two" [[Minecraft:advancement]] when bred.<br />
Several animal mobs can be [[Minecraft:Lead#Leashing mobs|leashed]] although this doesn't affect their classification. Animal mobs can also spawn in the [[Minecraft:Peaceful]] difficulty, with the exception of the undead mounts.<br />

Some mobs like [[Minecraft:allay]]s,{{note|Allays are referred to as animals in [[Minecraft:achievement]]s ("Zoology" category), as well as [[Minecraft:advancement]]s ("Husbandry" category).}} [[Minecraft:copper golem]]s, [[Minecraft:iron golem]]s, and [[Minecraft:snow golem]]s are internally referred to as animals,<ref>{{cd|net/minecraft/world/entity/animal}}</ref> although this does not affect the entity format, as these [[Minecraft:mobs]] do not share all of the same traits as actual in-game animals.<br />
<br />
== Related mobs ==<br />
These mobs are based on real life animals, but are not treated as such in the game code - rather as {{cd|Ambient}} or {{cd|Monster}} only.<br />
* {{EntityLink|Bat}}{{note|Bats are under the wild animals section in the [[Minecraft:spawn egg]]s tab in the [[Minecraft:creative inventory]]. The name of the advancement, "[[Minecraft:The Parrots and the Bats]]," ironically points out that these two mobs are among the only animals that do not breed.}}<br />
* {{EntityLink|Cave Spider}}<br />
* {{EntityLink|Endermite}}<br />
* {{EntityLink|Silverfish}}<br />
* {{EntityLink|Spider}}<br />
<br />
Despite being classified as only [[Minecraft:monster]]s in-game, [[Minecraft:guardian]]s and [[Minecraft:elder guardian]]s were referred to as "animals of the deep" in a ''Minecraft'' video about them.<ref>{{ytl|gs-rMm5luB8|Why are their eyes so big? <nowiki>|</nowiki> The Story Of The Elder Guardian|Minecraft|August 24, 2025|t=56s}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Related blocks==<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* In its [[Minecraft:Mob Menagerie]], [[Minecraft:shulker]]s were implied to be molluscs, a group of real-life invertebrate animals that include squid, glow squid, and nautiluses, given the nature of their shells.<ref>[https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/shulker Mob Menagerie: Shulker]</ref><br />
* In its Mob Menagerie, [[Minecraft:phantom]]s real-world parallel was stated to be [[Minecraft:bat]]s, as well as mentions of the extinct pterosaur, {{Wikipedia|quetzalcoatlus}}.<ref>[https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/phantom Mob Menagerie: Phantom]</ref><br />
