Most animals on Earth do not have backbones! Animals without backbones are known as invertebrates. Some invertebrates are worms, jellyfish, and gastropods. The invertebrate group called Arthropods, which included insects, is the one which has more animals than any other group on the planet. Animals that do have backbones are called vertebrates.
95% of all animal species do not have backbones.

Animals with a backbone belong to the phylum Chordata. This phylum includes vertebrates such as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, which all possess a notochord or backbone at some stage in their development.
Animals without backbone are invertebrates, because vertebra means backbone.
