This triggers the browser to make a request for the animal/:id page. 2. The request hits the rails router. 3. The router maps the correct controller and action (animals#edit) 4. The edit action retrieves the specific animal data from the model5. The model returns the data for the animal for the controller. 6. The controller passes along the data to the edit view. 7. The view renders the HTML for edit.html which includes a form or the user to edit. 8. Once the user clicks 'submit' the rails router request updates the data through the animals#update controller action.
