  7. Incorrect! Try again… c. None of the above Home Review 1

  8. Now that we know what a vertebrate is we are ready to learn about the 5 types of vertebrates… Click one the vertebrates to begin. Fish Mammals Birds Reptiles Amphibians

  9. Fish Characteristics: • Aquatic vertebrates • Cold-blooded • Lay eggs • Have two sets of paired • fins • Have skin covered in scales • Have gills used for breathing • Live in all types of water at a variety of different depths • About 28,000 living species today Vertebrates

  10. Examples of Fish Vertebrates

  11. Fish Review What is unique about fish? they are only found in water they live in all types of water they are warm-blooded a b c Vertebrates

  12. Correct! Great job! a. They are only found in water Vertebrates

  13. Incorrect b. They live in all types of water (this is true but this is not what makes them unique) Vertebrates

  14. Incorrect c. They are warm-blooded Vertebrates

  15. Mammals Characteristics: • Warm-blooded • Have sweat glands • Have hair • Have specialized teeth • Have three middle ear bones • used for hearing • Give live birth • Have a neocortex region in the brain • They are endothermic • About 5,000 living species Vertebrates

  32. Amphibians Characteristics: • They have four legs • Exothermic meaning that they regulate their body temperature based on the temperature of their environment • Spend part of time on land and or other part in fresh water depending on the species • Able to breath through lungs, gills, and or their skin • About 6,200 living species today Vertebrates
