No. The moon is not changing in size.
Waxing. This term is used to describe the phase of the moon when it appears to be growing larger in the sky as it transitions from a new moon to a full moon.
A crescent moon is growing when it transitions from a new moon to a first quarter moon, and shrinking when it transitions from a last quarter moon to a new moon. The growth or shrinkage of the crescent moon is a result of the changing angles between the sun, moon, and Earth during the moon's orbit.
It's usually said that the moon is 'waxing' when it appears to grow in size.
The moon is called a waning moon when it is growing smaller in size. This occurs right after a full moon, as the moon transitions from being fully illuminated to gradually becoming less visible.
waxing is when it's growing, waning is when it's shrinking

The term for the moon growing (or appearing to in phases) is waxing.
Yes. with our growing technology an animal can be on the moon
In the northern hemisphere, if the left side of the Moon is dark then the light part is growing, and the Moon is referred to as waxing (moving toward a full moon). If the right side of the Moon is dark then the light part is shrinking, and the Moon is referred to as waning (moving toward a new moon). Assuming that the viewer is in the northern hemisphere, the right portion of the Moon is the part that is always growing (i.e., if the right side is dark, the Moon is growing darker; if the right side is lit, the Moon is growing lighter). In the southern hemisphere the Moon is observed from a perspective inverted to that of the northern hemisphere, so the opposite sides appear to grow (wax) and shrink (wane).
