###Prerequisites:

• Ruby
  • Objects/Classes

    • These files are for your classes
    • animal.rb has some code started for you, but the other classes you'll have to create from scratch
  • spec
    • These are your rspec tests to help ensure your program is working properly
    • To run all your specs run rspec in your teminal
    • To run a specific set of specs run rspec spec/<filename> in your terminal, i.e. rspec spec/animal_spec.rb
