What's the difference between animal and cephalization?

Animal


Definition:

  • (n.)

  • (a.) Pertaining to the merely sentient part of a creature, as distinguished from the intellectual, rational, or spiritual part; as, the animal passions or appetites.
  • (a.) Consisting of the flesh of animals; as, animal food.

Cephalization


Definition:

  • (n.) Domination of the head in animal life as expressed in the physical structure; localization of important organs or parts in or near the head, in animal development.
