The document discusses different types of animals and how they are classified. It explains that animals can be classified based on whether they have a spine (vertebrates) or not (invertebrates). Vertebrates include mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish, while invertebrates include arthropods like insects, worms and molluscs. The document also discusses differences in animals' diets, whether they are herbivores, carnivores or omnivores, and their reproductive strategies of being viviparous or oviparous. It emphasizes the importance of protecting animals and their habitats.

Some invertebrates have an exoskeleton or a shell.

7. Animals that only eat plants are herbivores.
Animals that only eat other animals are carnivores.
Animals that eat plants and other animals are omnivores.
Do all animals eat the same food?

8. How do animals reproduce?
Animals born directly from their mothers
are viviparous.
Animals born from eggs are oviparous.

9. Animals that are endangered
could become extinct.
We should look after all animals
and the habitats they live in.
