To answer the original question, the Gemara in Chagigah (16a) says:

??? ????? ????? ???? ??? ???? ?????? ???? ???? ?????… ???? ?????

?????? ?????? ????? ????? ????? ????? ???????? ??? ?????

The Iyun Yaakov quotes a Medrash in Bereishis Rabbah which has a fourth similarity to animals – humans die like animals. He therefore asks why the Gemara doesn’t list it. He answers: ????? ???? ???? ????? ???? ??? ????? ???? ???? ???? ??? ??? ???”? ?????? ???? ???? ?”? ???? ????? ??? ?”? ??? ??”?
