Classification of Animals
OF ANIMALS
TAXONOMY- is a
branch of
Science
concerned in
classification of
organisms or
living things.
VERTEBRATES
• Vertebrates are animals that
have BACKBONE.
INVERTEBRATES
• Invertebrates are animals that
do not have backbone.

THE VERTEBRATES
VERTEBRATES
• Belong to Phylum Chordata
consist of animals with dorsal
spinal cord running along the
entire length of their body.
• Cartilage or Bones are the
building minerals of the
vertebrates’ endoskeleton.

MAMMALS
MONOTREMES
• Monotremes
are egg-
laying
mammals.
• Ex: Platypus
Anteater
MARSUPIALS
• Marsupials
are the
Pouched
Mammals.
• Ex.
Kangaroo
Opossum
PLACENTAL MAMMALS
• Placental are the
largest group and
most successful
of all mammals.
• They develop
their youngs’
inside the
mother’s body.

LIZARDS
• Lizards are four-legged reptiles.
• They have movable eyelids and
ear openings.
• Their skins are covered in dry
scales.

3. AMPHIBIANS
• Amphibians are cold-blooded
animals that spend part of their
lives in water and part on land.
• Young amphibians breath through
their gills. As they grow, their gills
disappear and lungs take their
place.
AMPHIBIANS
• Amphibians lay eggs.
• Their eggs have no shells, instead
their eggs have jelly-like structures.
• Their eggs develop to an adult
through a series of stages called
metamorphosis.
AMPHIBIANS
• There are two major groups the
tailed amphibians and the tailless
amphibians.
• The tailed amphibians have long
bodies and tails. Ex. Salamander
• The tailless amphibians have short
bodies and has no tail. Ex: Frog

4. BIRDS
• Birds are warm-blooded animals
or endotherms.
• Birds are only animals that have
feathers.
• Birds have strong and lightweight
bones that are adapted for flying.
BIRDS
• The mouth of a bird is in the
form of a horn-covered beak or
bill.
• Birds lay eggs with shells.
Their youngs are hatched from
eggs.
BIRDS
5. FISHES
• Fishes are cold-blooded animals or
ectotherms.
• Most fishes have vertebral column,
jaws, paired fins and scales.
• Fishes breath with gills. It takes
water in through its mouth.
• Fishes lay eggs on water. Their
young's’ are hatched from eggs.
