Today we learned about how animals are classified into groups. Animals are either vertebrates ( which means they have a spine) or invertebrates (which don't have a spine).
Invertebrates are animals like jellyfish, carbs, insects and octopus.
Vertebrates are put into five groups. They are mammals,birds,reptiles,fish and amphibians. mammals have fur or hair and give birth to live young. Birds have feathers and lay hard eggs. Reptiles are clod blooded and lay soft eggs. Amphibians breath through their skin and need to keep their skin moist. Fish breath through gills and have fins.
5 examples of each type:
Mammals: Panther, Cow,Kangaroo, Dog and Rhino
Birds: Eagle, Peacock, Woodpecker, Ostrich and Rooster
Reptiles: Snake, Sea turtle, Lizards, Tortoise and Crocodiles
Amphibians: Frog, Newt, Toads, Salamander and Caecilian
Fish: Seahorse, Stingray, Shark, Swordfish, Blobfish and Goldfish
Fantastic work, Tupou. You have some great examples of the different types of animals. Keep up the great work!
