This book explains all about magical animals, and the study of them, Magizoology.

What is a "beast" and what is a "being"? It is a question that has been asked for ages, should a werewolf be considered a "being" since it is human, or should it be classified as a "beast" since it can do serious damage to the surrounding community. Only 100% humans can be considered "beings."

Are Muggles aware of magical beasts? We find that some magical beasts can be seen by Muggles. This caused a problem, could these creatures cause Muggles to be aware of Magical Presence? Yes, so we made Clause 73 of the International Code of Wizarding Secrecy. This Clause states that each wizarding community is in charge of concealing the magical beasts in their area, and if a creature draws attention to the Muggle community, that nations wizarding governing body is subject to discipline by the International Confederation of Wizards.

What can we do to conceal our fuzzy, furious, and fanged friends? Many things such as safe habitats, disillusionment charms, and the final choice memory charms.

The ministry takes part in Magizoology, too. The ministry has created a classification system of a certain number of X's. X being boring, XX meaning Harmless/ may be domesticated, XXX telling us that Only a competent wizard should cope with, XXXX causing this beast to be Dangerous/ requires specialists knowledge, and a XXXXX is a Known wizard killer/ impossible to train or domesticate.

You learn of many magical creatures from Horklumps (X) which comes from Scandinavia, and resembles a fleshy, pinkish, mushroom, with sparse wiry black bristles, to a Chimera (XXXXX) a rare Greek monster with the head of a lion, body of a goat, and tail of a dragon.
