In marine ecosystem, I usually thrive,

Pores on the surface, that’s what I

have,
Considered simplest in the animal tribe,
In some cases, linked with square
pants.
On the shoreline, we proliferate,
Depths of the sea, we also invade,
Spines on our bodies , that’s our trade,
By tube feet, our movements are made.
In bodies of water, we are prevalent,
Scales are embedded on our bodies,
Breathing is made possible through our
gills,
We usually end up on your lunch plates.
Soft-bodied animals, that’s what they
call us,
In bodies of water, we are really
abundant,
Damp terrestrial lands, we also thrive,
Some are with shells, while others don’t
have.
Animals with dual life, that’s what we
are
Can survive and thrive in both water
and land,
Frogs and salamanders belong to this
clan, Known to have evolved after a
very long drought.
We are the most diverse in the animal
kingdom,
Can be in the sea or creepers in the
land.
Tough body covering, that’s one in our
kind,
Joint-legged animals, that’s what we
are.
Our bodies are covered with hair,
We rear our offspring through our milk,
With four-chambered heart and truly
warm blooded,
Considered as the most complex among
the vertebrates.
Stinging cells that we’ve possess.
All of us dwell in sea’s greater depths,
Corals and hydra, as well as jelly fishes,
Some of the group’s best
representatives.
Feathers and beak are among our
features,
As well as appendages covered with
scales,
Female counterparts can lay eggs,
Though all endowed with wings, some
cannot flee.
We are mostly crawling and creepy
creatures,
Some are round, flat or segmented,
Some dwell in decaying environments,
While other cause harm in living
systems.
