Because they have a spine.
Every living animal which has a spine is a vertebrate. While those with no spines are invertebrates.
All mammals are vertebrates (seals are mammals).
Yes, seals are vertebrates. They belong to the class Mammalia and have a backbone, which is a characteristic of all vertebrates. Seals are part of the order Pinnipedia, which also includes sea lions and walruses, and they possess a skeleton made up of bones, including a vertebral column.
Yes, Hawaiian monk seals do have spines. They are just like other mammals that are vertebrates. In other words, they have backbones.
Yes I can , Whales ,seals , walrus , sea lion , turtles and all marine fishes .
A harp seal is a placental mammal belonging to kingdom animalia phylum chordata. All animals from the phylum Chordata (chordates) are vertebrates.
Yes, Antarctic fur seals are vertebrates. They belong to the class Mammalia, which means they have a backbone made up of vertebrae. As mammals, they also possess other characteristics such as warm-bloodedness, fur, and live birth. These seals are part of the family Otariidae, which includes sea lions and other fur seals.
Cats, Dogs, Fish (goldfish), Plants (frangipanis, in particular), seals, dolphins, penguins. Hope this answers your question :)
Some vertebrates that live on beaches are sea turtles, shorebirds like seagulls and sandpipers, marine mammals like seals and sea lions, and some species of fish that inhabit the shallow coastal waters. They have adaptations that help them thrive in this unique coastal environment.
No, Hawaiian Monk Seals are an aquatic mammal, unique to the Hawaiian Islands.
Vertebrates are animals with backbones. Not all vertebrates are mammals, however. Vertebrates also include reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fish. Mammals do constutute a substantial number of vertebrates, but only a small fraction of the total species. Mammals include: monotremes (platypus,echidna) marsupials (kangaroo, opossum) marine mammals (whales, dolphins) semi-aquatic mammals (seals, sea lions) bats shrews, moles, and rodents hoofed animals felines, canines, and bears primates (apes, monkeys, man)
Whales and seals are both mammals. They fit the criteria of being warm blooded vertebrates with hair (yes, even whales have a little hair) that produce milk for their young. However, penguins are not mammals. Instead, they are flightless, semi-aquatic birds.
Snakes are vertebrates.
Yes they are vertebrates.
