NAME:

THE ANIMALS

ANIMALS ARE LIVING BEINGS THAT ARE BORN, BREATHING, FEEDING, GROWING, REPRODUCING AND DYING.

THE PLACE WHERE THE ANIMALS LIVE IS CALLED THE HABITAT. ANIMALS CAN LIVE IN AQUATIC ENVIRONMENTS THAT LIVE ON WATER, OR TERRESTRIALS THAT LIVE ON LAND.

THE SET OF ANIMALS THAT LIVE IN THE SAME HABITAT AND THAT ARE RELATED TO ARE CALLED FAUNA.

WE CAN GROUP LIVING BEINGS BY THE BODILY SIMILARITIES THEY HAVE AND THE WAY THEY ARE BORN AND GROWTH. WE CAN MAKE SEVERAL GROUPINGS ACCORDING TO THESE CHARACTERISTICS SOME OF THEM ARE:

• IN ANIMALS VERTEBRATE (WHICH CONTAIN A VERTEBRAL COLUMN) AND INVERTEBRATE (WHICH DO NOT HAVE A VERTEBRAL COLUMN);
• IN MAMMALS (WHICH HAS FUR, BREAST AND ARE BORN FROM THE MOTHER'S BELLY), BIRDS (HAS FEATHERS, BEAK AND ARE BORN FROM EGGS), REPTILES (HE HAS DRY SKIN, SCALES AND ARE BORN FROM EGGS), AMPHIBIA (HAS MOIST SKIN AND IS BORN IN WATER AND WHEN AN ADULT LIVES IN THE EARTH. EX: TOAD) AND FISH (HAS SCALES, LIVE IN WATER AND BORN FROM EGGS);
• IN MAMMALS (THAT SUCK WHEN PUPPIES AND ARE BORN FROM THE MOTHER'S BELLY) AND OVIPARES (BORN FROM EGGS)
• IN ANIMALS HERBIVORES (ONLY EAT PLANTS), CARNIVORES (WHAT EAT MEAT), OMNIVOROUS (WHAT EAT AS MUCH MEAT AND VEGETABLES) AND DENTRITIVORES (WHAT EAT WASTE OF DEAD ANIMALS)
