Of the 35 recognized animal phyla, most include animals that are characterized by specific body plans, levels of organization, and modes of reproduction. These phyla encompass a diverse range of organisms, from simple sponges and jellyfish to more complex forms like mammals and birds. Each phylum represents a unique evolutionary lineage, showcasing the incredible diversity of life on Earth. Overall, the majority of these phyla include animals with specialized structures and functions adapted to various ecological niches.
Phylum
There are around 35 recognized animal phyla and 11 recognized plant phyla, making a total of approximately 46 phyla across the animal and plant kingdoms.
There are currently around 35 recognized phyla in the animal kingdom, but the exact number may vary depending on different classifications and new discoveries.
These are the number of currently ranked phylum Animals phylum:35 Plant Divisions:11 Fungi Divisions:6 Bacterial:29 Archaeal Phyla/Division:5
Phyla is plural for Phylum. It is used in animal taxonomy and is the category between kingdom and class. Animals in the same phylum have the same degree of developmental similarity. There is a total of 36 animal phyla that all animals fall under and the largest phylum is Arthropoda.
I did not honestly think I could find an accurate answer for you, but I did. There are about 30 different phyla. Phyla are groups of animals sharing the same body type. The 9 largest phyla contain the majority of the animal species of our planet. The arthropods, which contains insects, spiders, etc. is made up of about 75% of the animal species. There are more than 900,000 arthropods known and according to some may be as many as 5 million total different types of this particular phyla. the number for all known animal species NOT including arthropods is around 250,000. The most diverse insect within the arthropods are the beetles. There are more than 375,000 identified. Next would be butterflies and moths with over 100,000 different types. Some other phyla estimates are vertebrates 50,000, fish 20,000, birds 8,700, reptiles 6,000, mammals 4,500, and amphibians 2,500. Within the mammal phyla rodents are the most prevalent with 35 different families of rodents at 1,700 species.
Mollusca, Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Annelida, Arthropoda, Echinodermata, and Chordata, the phylum to which humans belong. Although there are approximately 35 phyla, these nine include over 96% of animal species.Reference: Wikipedia

if you include both 20 and 35, 16 if you don't include 20 and 35, 14 if you only include one of the numbers but not the other, 15
Different websites offer different information, but I think you'll find what you're looking for on either of these websites. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal lists 36 and http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Sciences/Zoology/AnimalMorphology/listAnimalPhyla/listAnimalPhyla.htm has a "complete list".
Some phyla within the kingdom Animalia include Chordata, Arthropoda, Mollusca, Annelida, and Echinodermata. Each phylum represents a distinct group of organisms with specific characteristics and traits.
Dinosaurs are animals, just not animals that live today. They died out about 35 million years ago.
