Mitochondria, the energy producing organelle located inside a eurkaryotic cell is indeed found in animals. Animal cells(which are eukaryotic cells) are made up of a variety of organelles such as mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and of coarse the nucleus. If animals didn't have mitochondria in their cellls, they wouldn't be able to breathe, exercise, watch t.v. or post answers on wikianswers.com :) Without energy you would be a piece of limp cells and tissues lacking nutrients or any proper nourishments. You would simply be dead. We animals need energy to live, let alone carry out the common activities that can be done in a daily routine. MITOCHONDRIA ARE IMPORTANT FOR SURVIVAL!!!!!!!!!!

So your answer is yes, mitochondria can be found inside animals.
