- Birds (Aves) - Birds are warm-blooded; breathe air using lungs; have a covering of feathers; lay eggs

- Fish - which in turn are subdivided into Agnatha (jawless fish without scales, e.g. lampreys and hagfish); Chondrichthyes (sharks and rays, which have skeletons of cartilage rather than bone); and Osteichthyes (all the bony fish e.g. tuna, trout, whiting, etc.)- Fish are cold-blooded; breathe air using gills; have a covering of scales; lay eggs or give live birth
