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.

How are mammals the same as vertebrates?
All mammals have a spine or a backbone. Another word for a backbone is a "vertebra" and thus all mammals are "vertebrates".
However the presence of a backbone does not DEFINE a mammal because other animals also have backbones, eg reptiles, birds and fish - these animals are also "vertebrates".
Mammals are mammals because they are the onlyanimals to have fur/hair and feed their young on milk (there are some exceptions of non-mammals with fur and who feed milk to their young, not not many).
The reason for all these animals being "vertebrates" is because a long time ago in geological history they all evolved from an animal that had a backbone.
The answer is no, because, well, just look at a picture of a cats skeleton and you'll see why. Snails, for example, are invertebrates. They're extremely flexible. On some cats, you can actually feel their spine.

Do vascular plants absorb water directly like a sponge?

What sets vertebrates apart from other animals?
The most obvious way in which mammals differ from the other four classes of vertebrates is that mammals nurture their young on mothers' milk.
They need skeleton for strength , support ,firmness of body and in most of the cases in some bones ,bone marrow helps in the formation of blood .e.g. human beings.
What aids circulation of oxygen and nutrients throughout a vertebrate?
Circulation of oxygen and nutrients is done by the circulatory system. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which absorbs oxygen and then distributes it to the body's cells. Nutrients travel in the plasma, the liquid medium that carries blood cells. The heart is what pumps blood so it moves through the body.
Which vertebrates are endothermic?
Mammals and birds are endothermic vertebrates. They are able to regulate their own body temperature. The term 'endothermic' is the biological term for an animal that is warm-blooded.
Therefore, some of the thousands of endothermic vertebrates could be dogs, cats, kangaroos, parrots, eagles, monkeys, cheetahs, horses, koalas, ducks, etc.
Is a insect a vertebrate or a invertebrate?
An insect is not a vertebrate, as it does not have a backbone.
Which two vertebrate animal groups lay their eggs in water?
It is generally accepted that the two vertebrate groups that lay their eggs in water are Fish and Amphibians.
However, this is not strictly true, as not all amphibians lay their eggs in water. Many species of frogs lay their eggs in water, but not all do, e.g. the Corroboree frog.
Also, frogs of the genus Pristimantis lay their eggs on land, where they do not undergo a tadpole stage, hatching as fully metamorphosed baby frogs. Some amphibians do not even lay eggs. Some species of frogs even give birth to live young, such as members of the African genus Nectophrynoides and other species found in the Andes and Central America.There are also some salamanders which give birth to young which are either larvae, or already metamorphosed. Caecilians are a type of amphibian, rather like a worm, which give birth to fully metamorphosed young.
Is an animal with no backbone called a vertebrate?
No.
Animals with backbones are called vertebrates.
Do veterinarians take care of wild animals?
Yes, in blunt terms. Most veterinarians refer to this as euthanasia, however - they are putting the animal to death for humane reasons and providing a good death (quick, painless) rather than allowing them to die a bad death (prolonged, painful).
