Animal classification
Today we learned about how animals are classified into groups. Animals are either vertebrates
(which means they have a spine) or invertebrates( which means they don't have a spine).
Invertebrates are animals like jellyfish, crabs,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 cold blooded and lay soft eggs. Amphibians breath through through their skin and need to keep their skin moist. Fish breath through gills and have fins
5 examples of each type
Mammals: Mammoths, Cows, Gorillas, Lions and Bears
Birds: Parrots, Budgies, Swallows, Hummingbirds and Kiwis
Reptiles: Chameleons, Skinks, Geckos, Crocodiles and Turtles
Amphibians: Frogs, Salamanders,Toads, newts and Caecelians
Fish: Snapper, Stingrays, Sharks, stone fish and gold fish
