German Vocabulary: Animals
For millennia, human beings have
interacted with animals. Sometimes those interactions were predatory—with
either the human or the animal being predator or prey.
das Raubtier predator
die Beut e prey
As humans and animals began to trust
one another, and as they discovered a mutual benefi t in serving one another,
animals were invited into human homes and became part of the family group. Th
ese domesticated animals warned the family of intruders, helped protect
the family from invaders, and oft en became an important element of the hunt. Today,
many families reside with pets that are oft en treated like humans and are
truly members of the family.
Pets come in all kinds of sizes, shapes, and colors. Let’s describe some of them:

Not all domesticated animals live with a family. Farm animals are domesticated, but they live separately from the family. Humans rely on such animals for many of the products they produce or for the work they can carry out.

Although the phrase is long, it is used quite oft en. An American barn is a place where animals are housed, grain or hay is stored, and farm equipment tools are kept. German tends to be more specifi c.
Th e farmer who tends the animals is der
Bauer or der Landwirt. His wife is die Bäuerin or die
Landwirtin. Naturally, they live in das Bauernhaus (farmhouse).
Let’s look at some useful phrases that describe life on a farm:

PRESENT PERFECT er hat gemolken

melken
Th e noun der
Bauer has a special declension like the one for der Held (hero)
or der Soldat (soldier) and certain other German words:
Wilde

Wild animals live everywhere in the
world and can be found in lakes and oceans, deserts, mountains, forests, and
jungles. Th eir varieties are numerous, but here are a few familiar examples:
