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, Crabs, Insects and Octopus.
Vertebrates are put into 5 groups. They are Mammals, Fish, Birds, Reptiles and Amphibians. Mammals have fur or hair and give birth to live young. Birds have feathers and lay hard eggs. Reptiles are cold blooded and lay soft eggs. Amphibians breathe through their skin and need to keep their skin moist. Fish breathe through gills and have fins.
5 Examples of each type:
Mammals: Cats, Dogs, Red pandas, Pandas and Bunnies.
Fish: Gold Fish, Angel Fish, Sharks, Whales and Seahorses.
Reptiles: Tuatara, Snake, Lizards, Geckos and Skinks.
Birds: Ducks, Swans, Pigeons, Kiwis and Parrots.
