subject is completely compared and contrasted before moving on to the next
subject. E.g: a fish has scales and is able to swim in salt or fresh water. They also
have gills which are used to help them receive oxygen. A mammal can live on land
or in water. They have lungs to help them breathe, and they have skin or fur.

body. Fish, also, have scales while mammals have skin or fur.
