VERTEB RATE ANIMALS Made by: Julia Lauriano Leal 7-S Mrs.Valle Science MAMMALS • Mammals are endothermic (They produce their own body heat) • They are vertebrates (They have backbones), have hair on their skin,and mother feed their own milk! Some examples of mammal homes includes messy-looking nests (squirrels), and burrows.Mammals usually have relatively sold scat,or feces (especially plant eaters), in pellets or large pieces. BIRDS Animals whose bodies are coverd with warm feathers,and whose forelimbs are modified into wings! Birds are in class Aves,wich contains over 9,500 divided among 31 living orders. Birds are also a group of endothermic vertebrates,characterised by feathers,toothless breaking jaws,the laying of hard-shelled eggs,a high metabolic rate,a foured-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweigh skeleton. AMPHIBIANS • Amphibians are class of animals just like reptiles,mammals, and birds.They live the first part of their lives in water, and then last part on land.When they hatch from the egg, amphibians have gills so they can breathe under water.They also have fins to help them swim, just like fish! • Amphibians begin their lives in water with gills, and tail. As they grow, they develop lungs, and legs for their live on land. There are more than 4,000 different kind of amphibians. member of this class are: frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians or blindworms. FISH • Fish are class of aquatic vertebrates. The combination of gills, fins, and the fact that they can only live on water, which makes them different of other animals. • Fish fin like salmon have gills, are covered in scale, and reproduce by laying eggs. Fish has develop other senses, too: transmits sounds, disperses chemicals, and conduct electricity better than air, fish rely less on their vision, and more on their hearing taste, and smell. REPTILES • Reptiles are air-breathing vertebrates covered in special skin made up of scales, bony plates, or a combination of both. They include crocodiles, snakes, lizard, turtles. Unlike bird, and mammals, reptiles do not maintain a constant interaction body temperature. • They are cold-blodded vertebrates CONCLUSION I had a great experiece making it! There are so many species, and habitats. There is no end to the numbers of questions, and kinds of information that can be obtained from vertebrates animals. Now I learned the different groups of animals that go with each. Hope you enjoyed my vertebrate presentation! ~^_^~
