The Animal Kingdom Vertebrates

The Animal Kingdom

We have started our new topic in Science it is called Ecology. We just finished a topic, waves, and energy but we had no blog posts for it. For our first thing we are doing Animal Kingdoms so here it is.

Vertebrates:

Vertebrates are Animals with backbones. Humans are vertebrates because we contain backbones.

Fish:

Features: Fish live in water and are able to survive in this condition by breathing through gills. They are generally covered in slimy skin and produce eggs for their offspring. They are cold blooded and generally have bony spines. A few examples of these are Blobfish, Snapper, Salmon and even a Shark.

Amphibian

Amphibian generally have moist skin and lay eggs in water for their babies to hatch from. Normally they begin as fish like things but after a while, they generally grow legs and can swim as well as walk on land. Normally the adult's breath through lungs instead of gills like the younger ones does like fish they are cold blooded. Frogs are a perfect example of Amphibian. Turtles are another good example of these.

 Reptiles

Reptiles have dry scaly skin and lay eggs. They breathe with lungs and are cold blooded. Fun fact the Tuatara which is a reptile is believed to have survived the Dinosaur extinction. They are completely land-based and don't really use the water at all besides to hydrate themselves. Examples of these are Tuatara and Chameleons. 

Bird

Birds are covered in fur and lay eggs with hard shells. They also have wings but some of them cannot use them to fly. They breathe through lungs like most non-water animals and are warm-blooded. Birds do not have to have the ability to fly to be considered birds this is the case for Kiwis, Emus and many other animals. Seagulls are an example of flying birds.

Mammals
Mammals are warm-blooded creatures that are covered in humus/hair or fur. When really young they feed of milk usually provided by their mum and breathe through lungs. Humans, which is what we are if you didn't know because of your not the brightest people. Humans are a perfect example of Mammals. Here is a perfect example of a mammal. Be careful because he may bite you.
