class Animal
{

   public Animal(String owner_name1, String species1, int year1, float balance1)
   {
       owner_name = owner_name1;
       species = species1;
       year = year1;
       balance =balance1;
   }
  
   String getOwnerName()
   {
       return owner_name;
   }
  
   void setOwnerName(String owner_name1)
   {
       owner_name = owner_name1;
   }
  
   String getSpeice()
   {
       species = species1;
   }
  
   void setSpeices(String Speices1)
   {
       species = Speices1;
   }
  
   int getYear()
   {
