Chapter 7: Icons Animal

1. What is the “Icons Animals” Page?

This is a dedicated cheat-sheet / reference list showing only the animal-related icons from Font Awesome 5’s free collection.

These icons are perfect for:

• Pet websites or apps (vet clinics, adoption sites, pet stores)
• Nature blogs, zoos, wildlife pages
• Kids’ games or educational sites
• Emoji-style elements in chat apps
• Fun UI decorations (like “cute cat” for a profile)

The page has a clean table with:

• Icon preview (small image of the icon)
• Class name (e.g., fas fa-cat)
• Unicode value (e.g., )
• “Try it” button → click to test live code

Font Awesome 5 has a limited but useful set of free animal icons (about 15–20 in this category, mostly realistic outlines or simple shapes). Newer versions (FA6/7) added way more (like narwhal, honey badger, bugs), but in FA5 free, it’s basics.

2. Main Free Animal Icons in Font Awesome 5 (From the Page)

Here are the key free ones you’ll see listed (all solid fas style unless noted — these are the most popular):

• Dragon (mythical fire-breather) <i class=”fas fa-dragon”></i>

4. Teacher Tips for Animal Icons

• Paw is versatile — Use fa-paw for any pet/animal theme — it’s neutral and cute.
• Colors & sizes — Animals look great big (fa-3x, fa-4x) and in bright colors for kids’ sites.
• Combine with text — Always pair with words for accessibility (screen readers).
• In FA6/7, they added tons more free animals (bat, bee, butterfly, cow, deer, dolphin, duck, elephant, frog variants, etc.) — if starting new project, consider upgrading.
• Search tip: On W3Schools reference, type “cat” or “dog” in search box to filter fast.
