each group are the same in many ways, and they
often have very similar life cycles.The two biggest
animal groups are invertebrates and vertebrates.
Invertebrates are animals that have no backbone.
More than 95% of the animal speciesin the world
are invertebrates, and most of them are very small.
oceanftatworm threadworm
There are many different groups of invertebrates.
The biggest group is called arthropods. Insecrs,
spiders, and animals like crabs that have a hard
shell, are all arthropods.
Animals that have a backbone are called vertebrates.
Only a few percent of the animals in the world are
vertebrates, and most of them are much bigger than
invertebrates.Becauseof this, we seevertebrates
more often than invertebrates. Scientists put
vertebrates into five big groups - they are called
fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.

The young that hatch from eggs are called larvae, but
young frogs and toads are also called tadpoles. At first,
tadpoles don't have legs or feet and they breathe through
gills. It's easy for predators to catch and eat eggs and
tadpoles. Frogs can lay about 2,000 eBBS,but probably

Becoming
Adults
When amphibians begin to change into adults, they
grow lungs inside their body and their gills close.At
the same time, most amphibians grow legs and feet.
An adult frog looks completely different from a tadpole!
