Understanding Animal Classification Concepts

Vertebrate

• An animal that has a spine or backbone

• putting things into groups

• animals that maintain a constant body temperature regardless of the temperature outside

• a warm-blooded vertebrate animal that feeds its young with milk, have fur or hair, and breathe air with lungs

warm- blooded

• putting things into groups

• an animal with a spine or backbone

• animals that maintain a constant body temperature regardless of the temperature outside

• a warm-blooded vertebrate animal that feeds its young with milk, have fur or hair, and breathe air with lungs

mammal

• putting things into groups

• an animal with a spine or backbone

• animals that maintain a constant body temperature regardless of the temperature outside

• a warm-blooded vertebrate animal that feeds its young with milk, have fur or hair, and breathe air with lungs

Amphibians

• A warm-blooded vertebrate animal that feed its young with milk, have fur or hair, and breathe air with lungs

• a cold- blooded animals that breathes air and has scaly skin

• a cold- blooded vertebrate animal that have gills and live in water when born and the grow lungs and live on land as adults

• a warm-blooded animals that lays eggs, has feathers, wings, and a beak

birds

• A warm-blooded vertebrate animal that feed its young with milk, have fur or hair, and breathe air with lungs

• a cold- blooded animals that breathes air and has scaly skin

• a cold- blooded vertebrate animal that have gills and live in water when born and the grow lungs and live on land as adults

metamorphosis

• the animal's body temperature depends on whether or not it is hot or cold outside

• putting things into groups

• the physical change some animals go through to become adults

• a cold - blooded animal that lives in water and has fins for swimming and gills for breathing
