The kingdom name is Animal. Its scientific name is Animalia also called Metazoa.
Animals are consumers. Consumers are living things which get their energy from other living things. Without eating food (other organisms), animals will not survive. This is called heterotroph. Animals get their food in different ways: Herbivores- eat plants, Carnivores- eat other animals and Omnivores- eat both.
