There are many correct answers to this question, for there are many living things that are around us every day. To answer this question accurately, one would need first to know the definition of a living creature. Living things have many characteristics that make them stand out, including being made of cells, taking in and using energy, growing and then dying, and having DNA for their life instructions.

We, humans, are living things because we do all of these things and more. Another example of living things are animals, including dogs, cats, and fish. Bugs are also living things because they also fit these characteristics.
