animals.remove('rabbit')
print(animals)

#	list to a set and back to a list, and then run .remove(element)	E.g.:
animals = list(set['cat', 'dog', 'rabbit', 'guinea pig', 'rabbit']))
animals.remove('rabbit')
print(animals)
--> ['cat', 'dog', 'guinea pig']

# pop() also works with an index..
list.pop(0)

# ...and returns also the "popped" item
