TAXONOMY- is a
branch of
Science
concerned in
classification of
organisms or
living things.
 VERTEBRATES

• Vertebrates are animals that

have BACKBONE.
 INVERTEBRATES

• Invertebrates are animals that

do not have backbone.

 VERTEBRATES
• Belong to Phylum Chordata
consist of animals with dorsal
spinal cord running along the
entire length of their body.
• Cartilage or Bones are the
building minerals of the
vertebrates’ endoskeleton.

 MONOTREMES
• Monotremes
are egg-
laying
mammals.
• Ex: Platypus
Anteater
 MARSUPIALS
• Marsupials
are the
Pouched
Mammals.
• Ex.
Kangaroo
Opossum
 PLACENTAL MAMMALS
• Placental are the
largest group and
most successful
of all mammals.
• They develop
their youngs’
inside the
mother’s body.

 REPTILES
• Reptiles are cold-blooded
vertebrates or ectotherms.
• Reptiles are terrestrial animals. They
are fully adapted to life on land.
• Reptiles have dry, scaly skin. Some
have scales and others have shells.
• Reptiles breath through their lungs.
 REPTILES

• Reptiles use their legs and

feet to move.
• Some reptiles are born alive
and some are hatched from
eggs.
REPTILES

REPTILES
• Crocodiles and Alligators
are the largest living reptiles.
• Turtles are encased by
protective shells. The upper
shell is called a carapace the
lower shell is called the
plastron.
 REPTILES
• Snakes have dry skin that shed
periodically. They are carnivores,
eating their prey or swallowing them
alive.
• Poisonous snakes have fangs that
inject venom. Venom once injected
attacks nervous tissues causing
paralysis or death.
 SNAKES
POISONOUS SNAKE

NON-POISONOUS
SNAKE
 LIZARDS
• Lizards are four-legged reptiles.
• They have movable eyelids and
ear openings.
• Their skins are covered in dry
scales.

FLYING LIZARD
 3. AMPHIBIANS
• Amphibians are cold-blooded
animals that spend part of their
lives in water and part on land.
• Young amphibians breath through
their gills. As they grow, their gills
disappear and lungs take their
place.
 AMPHIBIANS
• Amphibians lay eggs.
• Their eggs have no shells, instead
their eggs have jelly-like structures.
• Their eggs develop to an adult
through a series of stages called
metamorphosis.
 AMPHIBIANS
• There are two major groups the
tailed amphibians and the tailless
amphibians.
• The tailed amphibians have long
bodies and tails. Ex. Salamander
• The tailless amphibians have short
bodies and has no tail. Ex: Frog

 4. BIRDS
• Birds are warm-blooded animals
or endotherms.
• Birds are only animals that have
feathers.
• Birds have strong and lightweight
bones that are adapted for flying.
 BIRDS
• The mouth of a bird is in the
form of a horn-covered beak or
bill.
• Birds lay eggs with shells.
Their youngs are hatched from
eggs.
BIRDS
 5. FISHES
• Fishes are cold-blooded animals or
ectotherms.
• Most fishes have vertebral column,
jaws, paired fins and scales.
• Fishes breath with gills. It takes
water in through its mouth.
• Fishes lay eggs on water. Their
young's’ are hatched from eggs.
