Objective

Through the making of this folio, I had : - Identify the classification of animal bas of common characteristics. - Determine the differences and similarities for each group.

INTRODUCTION

Animal are broadly divided into vertebrates and invertebrates. A vertebrates is an animal with a backbone. An invertebrates is an animal without a backbone.

Animals

Vertebrates : fish, bird, mammal, reptile, amphibian

Invertebrates : with jointed legs, without jointed legs

VERTEBRATES

FISH

Characteristics Fish have bodies that are well adapted for life under water. Their skin iscovered with hard and slimy scales for protection. They have fins and tailsto swim. They absorb dissolved oxygen in the water through their gills. Mostof them lay eggs that are fertilized outside their bodies. Fish are cold-blooded animals. This means that their body temperature changes with their surrounding temperature.

BIRD

Characteristics Birds are the only animals with feathers. They have beaks and wings but not all of them can fly. They breath with their lungs. They are warm blooded animals. This means that their body temperature remains constant and doesnot change with the environment. Their eggs, which are fertilized internally (internal fertilization), have hard shells and are laid in their nests.

MAMMAL

Characteristics Mammals are warm-blooded animals whose bodies are covered with hair or fur. Their eggs are fertilized internally and their young develop inside the female body. All mammals, except the duck-billed platypus and the spiny anteater, give birth to live young. Their young feed on milk from the mothers mammary glands. Mammals breathe with their lungs. This includes those living in the water such as dolphins and whales.

REPTILE

Characteristics Many reptiles live on land. All reptiles have hard dry scales to protect their bodies. They breathe with their lungs and are cold-blooded animals. Reptile eggs are fertilized inside the female body. The eggs have tough, leatheryshells to prevent them from drying out.

AMPHIBIAN

Amphibians are cold blooded animals that can live both on land and in water. Most amphibians adults live on land. They return to the water only to lay eggs. The eggs are fertilized outside the females body (external fertilization). The young amphibians live in water and breathe through their gills. The adults breathe with their lungs when on land and through their skin when in water. The adults have loose and moist skin.
