Genesis 1:24-31

God created the animals And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures of every kind: cattle and creeping things and wild animals of the earth of every kind.” And it was so. {25} God made the wild animals of the earth of every kind, and the cattle of every kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground of every kind. And God saw that it was good. {26}

Joel 12: 7-10

But ask the animals, and they will teach you; the birds of the air, and they will tell you; ask the plants of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this? In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of every human being. God used animals all throughout the Bible. Animals saved from the flood part of the covenant. Paschal Lamb at Passover. A Big Fish saved Jonah. Ravens brought bread to Elijah. Jesus was surrounded by animals at his birth and rode into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey.
