Yay, Animals!

Invertebrates

Animals that do not have an internal

skeleton

Some don’t have any kind of skeleton

Some have an exoskeleton (e.g. insects)

A hard outer shell

1. Sponges

Animals with bodies full of pores and

channels that allow water to flow through

them

They filter-feed

Example: sea sponge

Sponges

2. Worms

Animals with long tube-like bodies

(without bones) and no limbs

Examples: flatworms, roundworms

Worms

Mollusks

Can take on a number of different forms

All mollusks have a mantle that is used for

breathing and excretion

Examples: snails, sea slugs, octopus, clams

Mollusks

Cnidarians

Invertebrates that are characterised by

having cnidocytes (explosive harpoon-like

cell)

Examples: jellyfish,

sea anemone, corals

Cnidarians

Echinoderms

Only live in marine environments

Radially symmetrical (usually in multiples

of 5-points)

Examples: starfish, sand dollars, sea…

urchins

Echinoderms

Arthropods

Have an exoskeleton made of chitin and

segmented legs

Examples: spiders, insects, crustaceans

Arthropods

Vertebrates

Animals that have an internal skeleton

Vertebrates

Some vertebrates are warm-blooded

This means that they can control their body

temperature internally

Ex: mammals,

birds

Vertebrates

Some vertebrates are cold-blooded

This means that they cannot control their

body temperature internally

They depend on the temperature of the

environment

Ex: reptiles,

amphibians

1. Fish

They have smooth or scaly skin

Live in the water (have gills to breathe)

Most are cold-blooded, some sharks are

partially warm-blooded

Examples: sharks, eels, seahorse, goldfish

Fish

2. Birds

They lay eggs (oviparous)

They have feathers

They are exclusively terrestrial

Warm-blooded

Examples: cardinal, stork, penguin

Birds

3. Amphibians

They lay eggs (oviparous)

They have smooth skin (except toads)

They are both aquatic and terrestrial

Cold-blooded

Examples: frogs, toads, newts

Amphibians

4. Reptiles

They lay eggs (oviparous) or produce

eggs that hatch in the female’s body

(ovoviviparous)

They have scales or a shell

They can be aquatic or terrestrial

Cold-blooded

Examples: turtles, crocodiles, iguanas

Reptiles

5. Mammals

Most give birth to well-developed young

(viviparous) except platypus and echidna

They have fur

Can be terrestrial or aquatic

Warm-blooded

Examples: platypus, koala, whales, tiger

Mammals

closely related to

frogs than to

snakes?No!
