- The new Pokemon looks like a cross between a Elephant
Shrew and a Rat - The Reason why I think this Pokemon is a mammal is because of its fur covered skin and has a snout (nose) - The five groups which vertebrates can be placed into are: Mammals, Birds, Amphibians, Reptiles, Fish
Vertebrates and Invertebrates:
Vertebrates are all animals with a backbone. A skeleton gives the body support and shape.
Invertebrates are all animals without a backbone. These animals do
not have a bony skeleton. All insects are invertebrates. They do have a skeleton but it is on the outside of their bodies and is not made of bone.
The new Pokemon is a vertebrate, this is because it has a long flat
back and no bones on the outside of his body.
The five groups vertebrates can be placed into are: Fish,
Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds and Mammals
It is important that we classify this new pokemon because it helps
the scientific identification of any given organism and the study of a few representatives from each distinct group helps us to integrate the idea of life as a whole. Also It reveals the relationships among various groups of organisms. It provides information about plants and animals, which occur in specific geographical regions. It indicates the evolutionary relationship by establishing the gradually increasing complexity of form and structure in different groups of organisms.
