no it is an invertabrate as it does not have a back bone and has an exoskeleton instead
No! Vertebrates are animals which have a backbone, such as mammals, birds and fish. Ants are invertebrates. These are animals which do not have a backbone. Ants belong the the group of invertebrates called arthropods. These have a hard skeleton on the outside of their body (an exoskeleton), like a suit of armour. Vertebrates, like humans, have their skeleton inside their body (an endoskeleton). See http://www.kidport.com/RefLib/Science/Animals/Arthropods.htm
