This is a misunderstanding of the term "Beast."

Beast is an outdated/ archaic word for "Animals," especially (but not limited to) four legged ones, and is not limited to herbivores. Here is a link to the etymology of beast:

That exactly what I understand
That's what I understand exactly any animal is beast but I used this category for non-gentle animals and I use scientific defination neither mythic nor linguistic one.

Beast is not a technical term in biology.
I spent half my undergraduate as a biology major before changing to anthropology.

The description you have simply isn't correct:

"For any non-predator mindless animals especially four-legged herbivores and other mythical beings based on them.

Note: Canids, Felids, Primates, Hyenas, Cetceas, and Birds are not beasts so please don't add them in this category"

Another issue is that the correct description for the category "Beast" is redundant with "Creature." The category should be removed and instead should redirect to "Creature."

Great Idea but not sure the word beast have multiple meaning

I know what you meant, unlike the term "animal" beast is not bionomical term

But I meant by scientific classical meaning and what they classify animals in past not modern science

Might I was wrong

Unlike English, The Arabic have scientific details of every word, That why I don't sure

I make my own researchs, my defination is right but not common, Common usage for any non-human animal or any mythical being

So you can make redirect if you want
