∙ 13y agono they are more vertebrates than invertebrates because all land animals have spines and a lot if the sea animals have spines also so the answer is no there are more vertebrates
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes, there are many more invertebrate animal species than vertebrate animal species. Only about 3% of animals are vertebrates.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoI would say invertebrate because of how many species of arthropods there are. :)
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThis is correct, most animals are invertebrates.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes. Most animals would consist of arthropods (insects, spiders, crustaceans, milipedes, centipedes) and those are all invertrabrate.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe majority of animals on the planet are invertebrates.
Only approximately 5% of all life on the planet have backbones (vertebrates). Meaning approximately 95% are invertebrates.

Are ninety-five percent of animals on earth invertebrates?
I do not know if there is an exact percentage, but I do know that the of the known species, the most are invertebrates. This is because bugs are invertebrates. There are so many different species of bigs, just the insects alone, that we cannot find and name them all. Also you have many other groups of invertebrates.
How many types of animals are there in the animal kingdom?
There are 800 000 identified species, most of which are insects and invertebrates. However, many new species are continually being discovered, and taking into account the huge areas still unexplored on Earth (eg forests in South America, small islands, and most oceans), the true number of animal species on earth is probably far larger.
What percentage of animals on earth don't have back bones?
These numbers are not accurate, as accurate number of animal species on earth has yet to be discovered. Currently it looks like less than 3% of the known species of animals on earth are vertebrates (have back bones). There are around 50 000 species of vertebrates, most of which are fish. Most animals are invertebrates, and most of those are insects.Read more:What_percent_of_animals_on_earth_have_a_backbone
How many invertebrate is There un the world?
There are an estimated 9,000 to 10,000 species of invertebrates on earth and that takes up 98% of all types of species on earth.
Insects are the most numerous species on the earth?
Insects are not a species. Insects are are a class of invertebrates within the arthropod phylum. That is like asking if mammals are the most numerous species. Your question needs to be refined. Are you asking if insects are the most numerous class of animal? Most numerous species of living thing? Or perhaps you are thinking of a specific species such as monarch butterfly (Danausplexippus).
What percentage of creatures on earth don't have a backbone?
These numbers are not accurate, as accurate number of animal species on earth has yet to be discovered. Currently it looks like less than 3% of the known species of animals on earth are vertebrates (have back bones). There are around 50 000 species of vertebrates, most of which are fish. Most animals are invertebrates, and most of those are insects.
Are most animals species on earth are athropods?
yes, with around 80% of all described animal species
Which continent on earth has the most endangered and extinct bird and animal species?
England
Which animals are invertebrates and not invertebrates?
All animals are invertebrates, except for fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. These are known as vertebrates (animals with a backbone; vertebra = backbone) and account for only 2% of the animal kingdom, at most (as we probably haven't discovered all invertebrate species yet)!
What is the most abundant animal in the world?
Bacteria are the most abundant species on earth. Their total number cannot be exactly known, but estimate puts it at around 5 x 1030. There could be as many as one billion species. A link can be found below to the study and its results.Bacteria are not a species of life. They are a domain, which is the broadest classification of life. The most abundant domain on Earth is certainly bacteria and the most abundant species on Earth is likely a particular species of bacteria.
What are the most common invertebrates on earth and why?
Arthropods
What is there more of invertebrates or vertebrates on earth?
Definetely the sea, Even if you took all the Insects (largest group of land dwelling invertebrates by far) and the plants, It would pale in comparison to the amount of flora and invertebrate fauna in the oceans. The Ocean is where Life began and it has more species diversity, quantity, and mass than double the invertebrates on the Earth's land.
