ANIMALS
TWO BIG GROUPS OF ANIMALS
 Animals are classified into two big groups
  based on similarities in their structure.
 The group of animals without backbones
  dominates the world. These are called
  invertebrates. They make up 90% of all
  animal species.
 A small portion of the millions of animals
  comprise the vertebrate group, those with
  backbones.
VERTEBRATES

 They are further divided into five main
  classes. These are:
 1. Fishes

 2. Amphibians

 3. Reptiles

 4. Birds

 5. Mammals
INVERTEBRATES
 This big group of invertebrates
  is composed of:
 Sponges
 Coelenterates
 Flatworms
 Roundworms
 Segmented worms
 Echinoderms
 Mollusks
 and the Arthropods.
VERTEBRATES ALSO HAVE DIFFERENCES.

 The fishes, amphibians, and reptiles are
  ectotherms. They are cold-blooded. Their
  body temperatures depend on the
  temperature of their surroundings. Their
  bodies receive heat from the outside.
 Birds and mammals are endotherms,
  animals with constant internal body
  temperatures. They are
  warm-blooded animals.
VERTEBRATES:
CHARACTERISTICS OF FISHES

  They are ectothermic animals. Their
   temperature changes when the temperature
   of the air or water around them changes.
  The bodies are slender enabling the fish to
   move easily through water.
  Fish have fins used for swimming and
   gliding. Fins help them swim, turn, and stop.
VERTEBRATES:
FISHES
 Hard scales cover their bodies. Fishes have
  lateral lines on each side of their bodies
  which serve as sensors. Fishes use them to
  feel vibrations from the outside environment,
  like boats, people, animals, and other things
  that may be in the water.
 Fishes also have gills for breathing. They
  are located on either side of a fish’s head.
VERTEBRATES:
AMPHIBIANS
 They are cold-blooded.
 They spend part of their lives in
  water and part on land.
 They have slimy and cool skin.
 They are four-legged vertebrates.
 They depend on water for reproduction.
 Their eggs have no shells. They lay eggs in a
  pond, swamp, or stream to avoid drying.
 Examples are frogs, toads,
  salamanders and newts.
VERTEBRATES:
REPTILES
 They are ectothermic vertebrates.
 They have dry, waterproof bodies covered with
  scales.
 Reptiles produce eggs that have a tough
  leathery shell. Fertilization takes place inside
  the reptile’s body.
 They have a three-chambered heart like the
  amphibians.
 Examples of reptiles are lizards,
  snakes, turtles, tortoises, alligators
  and crocodiles.
VERTEBRATES:
BIRDS
 They have feathers.
 They have beaks instead of teeth.
 They have wings, though not all can fly.
 They have scales on their legs.
 The bodies of birds are streamlined to facilitate
  flight. They have lightweight bones.
 Most birds build nests on branches of trees, in a
  hole, or in a trunk or in a small hole in the
  ground.
 Birds lay eggs with hard shells. Most birds sit
  on their eggs until they are hatched.
VERTEBRATES:
MAMMALS
   They are the most complex of all vertebrates.
   They have four-chambered heart.
   Distinct to them is the presence of hair and mammary
    glands. The mammary glands, which produce milk to
    feed their young, are active only in females.
   They have more developed brains than any other
    animals. Humans, however, have the most developed
    brains which is why they are referred to as the “thinking
    animal”.
   They are warm-blooded. They maintain a
    constant body temperature.
VERTEBRATES:
MAMMALS
 Hair or fur keeps the body warm
  by preventing loss of heat. In
  the absence of hair on mammals, a layer of
  fat under the skin keeps the body heat.
 They have limbs, which are adapted for
  varied movements such as running,
  swimming, climbing, flying or gliding and
  hopping.
 Examples of mammals are: horses, cows,
  dogs, cats, lions, tigers, kangaroo.
