A pet is an animal that is kept entirely for fun or as a friend. Pets are usually small animals, like cats, parrots or dogs. Animals are often kept for other reasons, like for their meat, their wool or to help herd other animals around. For example, cows are generally kept on farms for their milk, not as pets.
The petrel is a seabird with long, narrow wings and a pointed beak. It lives near the coast and spends much of its life flying and gliding above the sea. Petrels look distinctive because many species have a dark body and they often fly with quick, steady wingbeats. They feed by grabbing small fish and squid from the water's surface.
Pewter is a metal alloy made from around 85% tin, and the remainder being antimony, about 1% copper and 4 or more percent lead. It is commonly used for photo frames, vases and decorative mugs. Plates, bowls and cups were all made from pewter before glass and porcelain became more common.
People of ancient cultures used to get lead poisoning partly from eating from pewter plates, and partly from using a lead compound to sweeten their wine.
Phalanges are small bones in your fingers and toes. In your hands they help your fingers bend so you can pick things up, and in your feet they help you to walk.

A phalarope is a small wading bird with a thin beak and legs, often with a mix of gray, brown, and lighter tones. It lives along the coasts and on inland lakes and wetlands, especially near shallow water. Phalaropes swim and feed in the water, sometimes stirring up tiny creatures near the surface. They're known for their habit of swimming in a tight circle as they search for food.
