The inventor of the animal cracker is not precisely known as they have been around in various forms for many generations, but it is believed that they first became known as a product in 1902. In the late 1800s, 'Animals' (animal shaped fancy cookies) were imported from England. Many of the small, local bakeries in America made different versions called 'Animals' or 'Circus Crackers'. Bakeries began to unite into larger companies with regional and eventual national distribution at the end of the 19th century. One of these was the National Biscuit Company. Packaging became an important factor in marketing on a national scale. Their 'Animal Biscuits' were officially renamed 'Barnum's Animals' in 1902. During the Christmas season, the package was redesigned as a circus wagon with a string attached to it, so it could be hung as a Christmas tree ornament. They sold for 5 cents, and they were an immediate hit. The current 17 varieties of crackers are tigers, cougars, camels, rhinoceros, kangaroos, hippopotami, bison, lions, hyenas, zebras, elephants, sheep, bears, gorillas, monkeys, seals, and giraffes. There are 22 crackers per box. More than 40 million packages of these are sold each year.
If it shows the animal shapes on the box, then count how many different ones there are. If there are non then it usually there are only 2 of each animal meaning a lot of shapes
The number of animal crackers in a package can vary depending on the brand and size of the package. Typically, a standard package of animal crackers contains around 10-15 crackers.
This depends on which manufacturer. The Nabisco brand of Barnum's Animal Crackers, has produced 37 animal shapes since 1903. They were producing 19 animals, as of their 100th Anniversary in September of 2002. The Keebler Company makes them under the name Austin Zoo Animal Crackers, and currently produces 12 different animals, while the Stauffer Biscuit Company, makes the Stauffer's Animal Crackers with 13 different animals.

Because they make a loud 'crack' when you break them. Animal crackers are 'crackers' in the shapes of animals, many brands of which are sweetened. There is debate about whether or not animal crackers are actually crackers or cookies. They are like crackers due to the way they are made, with layered dough, but the ones made with sweetened dough are more like cookies. The original version, made by Nabisco in 1902, were crackers in decorative little boxes meant to hang on Christmas trees.

In the beginning they were just called "Animals." They were imported from England when "fancy" baked goods first began to be in demand here. In the latter part of the nineteenth century they were manufactured domestically by Herfield & Ducker in Brooklyn as well as Vandeveer & Holmes Biscuit Company in New York. Both firms eventually became pare of the New York Biscuit Company and "Animals" were one of their staples. Under the National Biscuit Company banner, animal biscuit crackers were made and distributed. When "Animals" were adopted by NBC, their name was changed to "Barnum's Animals Crackers," named after P. T. Barnum, showman and circus owner who was so famous during this era. Barnum's Animals Crackers provided the nation with a new type of animal cracker, produced in a small square box resembling a circus cage with a tape at the top for easy carrying.
