Animals are actually characterized by their lack of photosynthesis. Animals lack the ability to create their own food, unlike plants. Animals are most often characterized by their ability to move via locomotion and their feeding habits. If there are any animals who have the ability to photosynthesize, it is currently unknown to mankind.

What do animals benefit from photosunthesis?

Animals do not directly benefit from photosynthesis, as they are not able to carry out this process themselves.
