Q1: So then speaking of animals like...penguins would these be considered birds? But they cannot fly. What about beasts? They also cannot run. Would these animals not be considered because there are no penguins in the vicinity? But then what about elephants and hippos mentioned in the later passages?

Sentence 22 : Nadia Arzberger

Some sea creatures such as dolphins birth a fetus and nourish via milk but they definitely don't run and live in caves. What category would they belong to?
