VertebratesThe vertebrates are animals with a backbone. Scientists separate this group into smaller groups because of their features:

  • how the animal takes in oxygen - lungs, gills or through the skin
  • thermoregulation - maintains own temperature (homeotherms) or temperature varies with surroundings (poikilotherms)
  • reproduction - internal or external fertilisation, lay eggs (oviparous) or give birth to live young (viviparous).#
