    This document provides a decision tree to classify different types of animals. It begins by distinguishing between animals with or without a backbone, then further categorizes vertebrates based on features like feathers, scales, habitat and diet. Invertebrates are also classified based on traits such as shells, legs and scales. The tree leads the user to the specific animal name at each decision point, allowing for identification of animals from mammals and birds to reptiles, fish, insects and marine invertebrates.
