Animal Forms Exercise

The document provides code for a Java GUI application that displays images of different animals (a chinchilla, hamster, and capybara) as buttons. When a button is clicked, the text below the images changes to describe the clicked animal. The code imports necessary libraries, defines ImageIcons for the animal images resized to 100x130 pixels, creates JButtons using the ImageIcons, adds an action listener to the buttons, and displays the buttons and a label to the frame. The action listener changes the label text depending on which button is clicked.
