characteristics of each group of
vertebrates

 Animals can be found anywhere in our environment: in the
sea, grassland, forests, ponds, sanctuary, and even in our homes.
These animals in different ecosystem and habitat are classified as
vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates are animals with
backbones and have varying body parts used in walking,
swimming, flying, climbing, and hopping. They eat grass, meat,
insects, and seeds as their food.
Which of the following animals can be found in the locality?

A. B.

C. D.
 Animals found in the locality are classified into vertebrates and invertebrates.
Vertebrates are animals with backbones that give shape and support their body.
Bones are predominant feature in the body of vertebral animals that serve as
protection of their internal organs. The presence of bones in the animal’s body helps
the animals to walk, jump, crawl, and swim.

Animals can be oviparous and viviparous. Viviparous are animals that are
born alive by their parents such as dogs, carabao, and cats, while oviparous animals
are those that are hatched from egg such as chicken, duck, and snake.

Back bones
Vertebrates are group into the following:

Mammals
Mammals are warm- blooded animals that
are born alive or viviparous. They have hair
or fur as their body covering and mammary
gland to feed their young with their milk.
 Fish
Fish are cold-blooded animals covered with
scales. They have tails and fins that help them
swim. They are animals hatched from egg and
breathe through their gills.
 Birds
Birds are warm-blooded animals hatched from egg or
oviparous. They have a pair of limbs for hopping and a pair
of wings used in flying. There are birds who have wings
but can’t fly. A beak or bill is used in getting food as well
as for protecting themselves from their enemies.
 Amphibians
Amphibians are cold-blooded animals hatched from egg.
They spend part of their lives in water and part on land.
They have moist and scaleless skin. Some examples are
salamander, newt, toad and caecilian.
 Reptiles
Reptiles are cold-blooded vertebrates hatched
from egg. They have dry scaly skin and some
have shells. Some examples are turtles,
chameleon, snake, lizard, and gecko.

journal.

I learned that…
Vertebrates are classified as, ____________________, __________________,
_______________________, ______________________, and
_______________________.

The _____________________are animals that are born alive and have hair or fur as
their body covering. The _____________________ are animals that have scales, fins, and
gills and live in water.
While _________________________are animals that have dry scaly skin and hatched from
egg. The _____________________are animals that have moist skin and can live both on
land and in water and ________________________are animals with beak or bills and have
wings.
