Animals
We can classify animals in different ways, depending on the way they are born, how they reproduce and what they eat. We classify them according to their skeleton. - Animals with bones are called vertebrates. - Animals without bones are called invertebrates.

VERTEBRATES

INVERTEBRATES

MAMMALS

ARTHROPODS

Animals with bones and a spinal column are called vertebrates.

BIRDS

MULLUSCS

FISH

WORMS

Animals without bones are REPTILES SONGS: Dance with the elephant Tiger in the jungle called invertebrates.

AMPHIBIANS

We classify animals according to three characteristics: 1. The Skeleton: vertebrates have a skeleton, but invertebrates do not have a skeleton. 2. The way animals are born: viviparous animals are born from their mothers womb, and oviparous animals are born from eggs. 3. The food they eat: some animals only eat plants (herbivores), others only eat meat (carnivores) and other animals eat both plants and meat (omnivores).

- Most mammals are viviparous; they are born from their mothers womb. - They have hair on their skin. - They breathe with lungs. - They can walk and run, and some of them like dolphins can swim, even fly. - They can be carnivores, herbivores and omnivores. For example: dolphins, tigers

- They are born from eggs, they lay eggs. - They have feathers on their bodies. - They breathe with lungs. - They have wings, so that they can fly. - Birds are usually herbivores, but there are some that are omnivores. For example: seagulls, eagles, owls

lizards are reptiles.

- They are born from eggs and also lay eggs. - They have wet skin. - They breathe with lungs as adults and with gills when they are babies. - They live both in water and on land. - Frogs and salamanders are amphibians.
