What is the main difference between the creation of angels, the human beings, and animals?

SHAFAQNA – It is narrated from Imam Ali (AS) who said: Allah (SWT) created the angels with intellect and without lusts and burning desires, and animals with lusts and desires but without intellect (wisdom), and created the human being with a mixture of intellect and lusts and desires. Therefore, anyone whose intellect dominates his/her desires is superior to the angel, and anyone whose desires and lusts dominate his/her intellect is lower than animals [1].
