Note: Any of several waxes obtained from animal sources, found in small deposits in many parts of the animal. Animal waxes, such as from a mammal, typically contain no glycerides; they contain sterols (cholesterol) and other long-chain alcohols. Also included are the waxes from insects such as the lac insect which produces shellac. Any of several waxes obtained from animal sources, found in small deposits in many parts of the animal.
