Your work will consist in guessing the names of some of these animals, explaining how these animals are used and answering some questions about animal husbandry.
These are the photos:

I DON´T KNOW
Hello Ángel,
I think you haven´t understood the questions: "Breeding" means "cría", but it doesn´t refer to the babies of the animals, but to the fact of making animals grow. "To breed" is "criar". The questions refer to the different names this activities have.
You have to make a little research to find the answer to question number 5. You can make the research in Spanish and explain your discoveries in English. Try. You have time until Sunday night.
Paqui the questions were really difficult
Hello Dani,
Read my comment to Ángel. You both have confused the babies of the animals with the fact of raising them. It´s not so difficult if you know the words in Spanish. Try again. You have still time. The deadline finishes on Sunday night.
What´s happening with your answers? It´s not difficult. You have to try. Don´t think about winning, but about learning new words and concepts. Come on!

1: Goose
2: Goat or Spanish Ibex
3: I don't know

Questions:

3. beekeeping/apiculture
4. cuniculture
5. In Caudete de las Fuentes there is a biofctory/biofarm where they raise flies. They raise sterile male Mediterranean fruit flies (Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann). They deliver these sterile flies to farmers, who release them into their fields. These sterile male flies copulate with female flies and their eggs are also sterile. This is an intelligent way of controlling a fruit plague.
