There are four key characteristics to chordates. They are the presence of a notochord, the presence of a hollow nerve cord that is dorsal to the notochord, pharyngeal pouches and an endostyle.

All chordates had at some stage of development a dorsal nerve cord, a notochord, and gill slits. That includes all vertebrates and certain marine animals, such as the lancelets; small, flattened marine organisms, structurally similar to the vertebrates but having a notochord rather than a true vertebral column.

  • Animals could be either ectothermic or endothermic, but mammals are always endothermic.
  • Only mammals have hairs on the skin out of all the animals.
  • Only mammals have mammary glands and sweat glands out of all the animals.
  • The most sophisticated heart and the circulatory system are present in mammals out of all the animals.
  • Mammals have more complex living habits (e.g. human) than other animals.
  • Number of mammals is only a fraction compared to the rest of the number of animals.
  • Some mammals are capable of singing, but other animals are not.

All chordates have a hollow nerve cord, a notochord, pharyngeal pouches, and a postanal tail. Some examples of chordates are humans, eagles, turtles, and jellyfish.

Jellyfish, referring to Phylum Cnidaria, are definitely NOT Chordates. They lack all five features diagnostic of Chordates.

Just think of any property that you don't have and your dog or a tree does't. There you go. E.g. a tail, chlorophyll... You probably should be more specific.
