They are very complex because they can reproduce
They have a backbone
Simple vertebrates are vertebrate animals that are less complex in terms of their anatomy and behavior. This category includes animals like fish, amphibians, and reptiles, which have a more straightforward body structure and simpler nervous systems compared to more advanced vertebrates like mammals and birds. Simple vertebrates often rely on instinctual behaviors rather than complex cognitive abilities.
Squirrels are vertebrates, they have spines.
Yes, nutria rats are mammals and all mammals are vertebrates (they have a backbone).For more information on vertebrates and invertebrates see related questions.
All mammals have a spine or a backbone. Another word for a backbone is a "vertebra" and thus all mammals are "vertebrates".However the presence of a backbone does not DEFINE a mammal because other animals also have backbones, eg reptiles, birds and fish - these animals are also "vertebrates".Mammals are mammals because they are the onlyanimals to have fur/hair and feed their young on milk (there are some exceptions of non-mammals with fur and who feed milk to their young, not not many).The reason for all these animals being "vertebrates" is because a long time ago in geological history they all evolved from an animal that had a backbone.
Mammals are considered as most complex of all the vertebrates. The reason is very simple! Man belongs to this category. Man is supposed to be most evolved of all. (Supposed to be. For that man has done most of the damage to the earth.) Man has got the most intelligent brain. Most of the mammals are more or less intelligent. Human brain is the most complex of all the organs.
All species of pangolin are mammals, and all mammals are vertebrates. They have a spine and spinal cord, and an internal skeleton. They belong to the Phylum Chordata. Mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians are all vertebrates.

No, spider monkeys, like all monkeys, are mammals and all mammals are vertebrates; they all have vertebral columns (spines). Invertebrates have no backbone (spine), no internal skeleton, no head with a brain and central nervous system. For more information on vertebrates and invertebrates please see the links and related questions associated with this question.
Yes, these animals are vertebrates because they do have an internal skeleton and a backbone made up of vertebrae plus the other characteristics of a vertebrate. Although they are called "Killer Whales", the Orca is not actually a whale. They are the largest member of the dolphins. Orca are dolphins, dolphins are mammals, all mammals are vertebrates.For more information on vertebrates and invertebrates, see the related questions.
Hens are the females of various birds, such as chickens and turkeys. All birds are vertebratesbecause they have a vertebral column (backbone) and the other characteristics of vertebrates.For more information on vertebrates and invertebrates see related questions.
Other than our brain and the complexities that adds to our life, I don't believe we are that much more complex than other mammals.
