A deuterostome is a type of animal characterized by the development of the anus before the mouth during embryonic development. Deuterostomes include vertebrates (such as mammals, birds, and fish) as well as other animals like echinoderms (such as starfish) and hemichordates. This developmental characteristic distinguishes deuterostomes from protostomes, where the mouth forms before the anus.
