Explanation:

The animal is a beautiful poem written by Walt Whitman,an American poet. he says that animals are better than human beings because they never cry for their situation and they are self satisfied. They never make any comparison between them and live happy life. The poet expresses his wish to live like an animal.

Animals are not running behind material things and they do not kneel down in front of their forefathers. Towards the end of the poem the poet says that human being lost all the values like love, affection and innocence.
