Animal Classification

Today in topic we learned about animal groups. There are 2 types of animals, Vertebrates and Invertebrates. Vertebrates have a spine, so for example birds are Vertebrates because they have a spine. Invertebrates have no spine, so a jellyfish is a Invertebrate.

There are 5 types of Vertebrates:

Reptiles🦎

Reptiles are cold-blooded, which means they have to keep in the sun in order to stay alive. And they lay eggs.


Mammals🐻

Mammals are warm-blooded, so they tend to have a lot of fur and don't lay eggs.


Birds🐦

 Bird are warm-blooded like mammals, but they do lay eggs just like reptiles do.

Fish🐠🐟

Fish have scales like snakes do. Fish breathe air just like all animals do, but they take the oxygen from the water into their gills.

Amphibians🦎

Amphibians have one feature like a fish, they take air from the water into their skin.
