Vertebrates
Vertebrates belong to the subphylum Vertebrata – the largest subphylum of chordates containing several groups of large land animals including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fishes. Vertebrates have spinal columns and backbones. There are now around 58,000 species of vertebrates.

What are the body covering of vertebrates?
It depends on the classification of vertebrate.
- Mammals have a body covering of fur, skin or hair.
- Birds have a body covering of feathers.
- Reptiles have a body covering of scaly skin.
- Fish have a body covering of scales.
- Amphibians have a body covering of moist skin.
How many bones does a cat have in its tail?
Interestingly enough, cats do not have a set number of bones in their tail. It's been observed that up to 20 bones may be found in the tail of the domestic house cat. It all depends on the individual cat's breed and genetics.
Is a snapper vertebrate or invertebrate?
Snapper are fish so, like all fish, they are vertebrates. They have a spine and spinal cord, and an internal skeleton. They belong to the Phylum Chordata.
Mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians are all vertebrates.
A vertebrate is basically any animal that has a backbone. This includes mammals, reptiles, and fish.
Is a malabar civet a vertebrate or invertebrate?
Malabar civets are mammals and, like all mammals, they are vertebrates because they have a spine and spinal cord, and an internal skeleton. They belong to the Phylum Chordata.
Mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians are all vertebrates.
Is a post-anal tail a vertebrate?
A post-anal tail is not a vertebrate itself; rather, it is a feature found in certain vertebrates, including all chordates during some stage of their development. This tail extends beyond the anus and is characteristic of the embryonic stages of vertebrates like mammals, birds, and fish. In some species, the post-anal tail is retained into adulthood, while in others, it is lost during development. Thus, while vertebrates can possess a post-anal tail, the tail itself is not classified as a vertebrate.
Is the golden snub nosed monkey vertebrate or invertebrate?
The Golden lion, or Golden lion tamarin, is a mammal, and all mammals are vertebrates. They have a spine and spinal cord, and an internal skeleton. They belong to the Phylum Chordata.
Mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians are all vertebrates.
What does a vertebrate have that an invertebrate does not have a gills brain lungs or backbone?
A vertebrate is an animal with a vertebra. A vertebra is a spine. Examples of vertebrates would be apes, birds, snakes and fish.
An invertebrate does not have a spine. Examples - a slug, an octopus, an ant.
Is moss an invertebrate or a vertebrate?
Vertebrate / invertebrate is used about ANIMALS , not plants.
Is a rhinoceros is a vertebrate or a invertebrate?
Vertebrate; rhinocerous have a vertebral column (backbone).
Why is a snake classified as a vertebrate?
A vertebrate is an animal with a distinct neural tract running along the dorso-medial aspect of its body and the neural tract is encased in an ossified bony column. Based upon observing this anatomy, a scientist would classify an animal as a vertebrate.
A kit fox is an omnivore, meaning they eat both meat and plants. They will sometimes eat grass to settle their stomachs like dogs do - and while they eat meat when it's available they will also eat fruits and berries when it's not.
What are vertebrates that live under water and on land called?
Amphibians (frogs, newts, toads and salamanders).
List of animals that are vertebrates?
Animals with an internal skeleton made of bone are called vertebrates. Vertebrates include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, primates, rodents and marsupials. Although vertebrates represent only a very small percentage of all animals, their size and mobility often allow them to dominate their environment.
Is a mayfly larva a vertebrate?
Damselflies are insects, and all insects, whether nymph or adult, are invertebrates. They have an exoskeleton, with no backbone or spinal cord. They belong to the Phylum Arthropoda, which includes organisms such as insects, spiders, centipedes and millipedes, and crustaceans.
Vertebrates include only some members of the Phylum Chordata: specifically, mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians.

What are the seven classes of vertebrates?
The seven classes of Vertebrates are as follows:
Agnatha:
It consists of jaw-less fish that do not have scales. These are the lampreys and hagfish.
Chondrichthyes:
Fish that have skeletons consisting of hard rubber-like cartilage rather than bone. These are the sharks and rays.
Osteichthyes:
All of the bony fish. Tuna, bass, salmon, and trout.
Amphibia:
spend part of their lives under water and part on land. Frogs, toads, and salamanders are amphibians. Many of these species must keep their skin moist by periodically returning to wet areas. All of them must return to water in order to reproduce since their eggs would dry out otherwise. They start life with gills, like fish, and later develop lungs to breathe air.
Reptilia:
includes turtles, snakes, lizards, alligators, and other large reptiles. All of them have lungs to breathe on land and skin that does not need to be kept wet. They produce an amniote egg which usually has a leather hard shell that protects the embryo from drying out. This is an advantage over fish and amphibians because the amniote egg can be laid on land where it is usually safer from predators than it would be in lakes, rivers, and oceans.
Aves:
includes all the birds. They also produce amniote eggs but usually give them greater protection from predators by laying them high off of the ground or in other relatively inaccessible locations. In the case of both reptiles and birds, the eggs are fertilized within the reproductive tract of females.
Mammalia:
Dogs, cats, bears, humans and most other large animals today are members of the vertebrate class Mammalia . All mammals conceive their young within the reproductive tract of the mother and, after birth, nourish them with milk produced by their mammary gland. Mammals are heterodonts with strong jaws. That is to say, they have a variety of specialized teeth (incisors, canines, premolars, and molars). This allows them to chew their food into small pieces. Many reptiles must swallow their prey whole, which limits them to hunting smaller animals.
How many types of egg found in vertebrates?
Amniot Eggs
Amniot eggs are complex eggs made by air breathing animals such as reptiles, birds, and mammals.
Cormorant: rough and chalky bird eggs
Tinamou: shinny bird eggs
Duck Eggs: oily and waterproof bird eggs
Cassowary: heavily pitted bird eggs
Fish & Amphibian Eggs
Fish eggs are layed under water and fertilized externally. Amphibian eggs are also layed underwater, but are fertilized internally.
Embryos
Embryos are the eggs that most mammals. once fertilized the zygote goes through blastula, gastrula, and organogenesis while inside of the blasomeres.
BTW I am 11 I just copied and pasted this so please don't ask me what I mean about any of this.
Nope they dont. Certain types of worms (polychates) have segmented bodies, as do crustaceans (lobsters, crabs, etc) and insects.
