Weird Expedition in Mexico: Discover ANIMAL VOCABULARY in Spanish!
In this article, we are going on a quest for animales (animals)!
Pet animals
The following are some animales (animals) people usually have as mascotas (pets).
Yo soy amante de los perros (I am a dog lover), así que no tengo gatos (so I do not have cats). However, yo creo que un gato es un gran compañero (I think a cat is a great companion). Instead, yo tengo un pájaro (I have a bird).
Other people prefer other sorts of pets: un conejo (a rabbit), un pez (a fish) or even reptiles (reptiles) like una serpiente (a snake), una lagartija (a lizard) or un camaleón (a chameleon).
So, the following are pet animals:
- El perro (the dog)
- El gato (the cat)
- El pajarito (the little bird)
- El loro (the parrot)
- El perico (the parakeet)
- El conejo (the rabbit)
- El pez (the fish)
- Los reptiles (the reptiles)
- La serpiente (the snake)
- La lagartija (the lizard)
- El camaleón (the chameleon)
Do you have any animales como mascotas (animals as pets) at home? Tell me in the comments below how many and which kind of animals do you have. In my case, yo tengo trece perros y un perico (I have 13 dogs and 1 parakeet). You may use the chunk “Yo tengo” to start your phrase.

- El cerdo (the pig)
