Pack animal

A pack animal is an animal that helps people carry things. Imagine if you have a lot of heavy things to carry, like a big bag of rocks or a bunch of sticks. It would be very hard for you to carry it all by yourself for a long time. But if you had a pack animal, it could help you carry some of the heavy things.

Pack animals can be different kinds of animals, like horses, donkeys, or even dogs. They are trained to carry bags or packs on their backs, and they are used by people who have to travel long distances or go camping.

Pack animals are really helpful because they make it easier for people to carry a lot of things. They also make it easier to get around in places where there are no roads or cars. So next time you see a horse or a donkey with a big pack on its back, you'll know that it's a pack animal helping someone out!
