Today we learned about how animals are classified into groups. Animals are either vertebrates (which mean they have a spine) or invertebrates (which don't have a spine. Invertebrates are animals like jellyfish, crabs, insects, and octopuses. 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 eggs. Reptiles are cold-blooded and lay soft eggs. Amphibians breathe through their skin and need to keep their moist skin. Fish breathe through gills and have fins.
5 examples of each type:
Mammals: Otter, Racoons, Sloth, Skunk, and Pigs
Birds: Owl, Duck, Turkey, Goose, and Penguins
Reptiles: Tortoise, Turtle, Crocodiles, Lizards, and Snakes
Amphibians: Frog, Salamander, Newts, Caecilian, and Toads
Fish: Shark, Eel, Gold Fish, Fish, and Sea Horse
