Usage notes

Since the very beginning of Esperanto, besto has meant any member of the

animal kingdom
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/animal_kingdom
, including
humans
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/humans
. However, because many Esperanto speakers interpret it as meaning "non-human animal",
animalo
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/animalo#Esperanto
 was coined to explicitly mean any animal including humans.
