in referencing enum type why do i need to add namespace and class in declaration of the enum?
<pre><code>namespace myobjects
{       
   class mylifeforms
   {     
       public enum Animal { dog, cat, mouse }       
   }    
}
</code></pre>

<p>if i want to use the the enum type in a class i need to declare the type like this:</p>

<pre><code>myobjects.mylifeforms.Animal animal;
</code></pre>

<p>what should i do so i can declare it like: </p>

<pre><code>Animal animal;
</code></pre>
