Animal variety, or BREED, is a term used to describe the distinct characteristics of a particular type of animal. Breeds are developed through selective breeding and can be identified by their physical traits, behavior, and genetics. Breeds are often used to differentiate between different types of animals, such as dogs, cats, horses, and other domesticated animals. Breeds can also be used to distinguish between wild animals, such as wolves, tigers, and lions. Breeds are an important part of animal husbandry and are used to ensure the health and well-being of animals.
