    ANIMAL

    CLASSIFICATION
    MAMMALS
    REPTILES
    AMPHIBIANS
    BIRDS

    FISH
    a warm-blooded vertebrate animal of a class that is
    distinguished by the possession of hair or fur, the secretion
    of milk by females for the nourishment of the young,
    and (typically) the birth of live young.

    are air-breathing vertebrates covered in special skin


    made up of scales, bony plates, or a combination of both.
    They include crocodiles, snakes, lizards, turtles, and
    tortoises. All regularly shed the outer layer of their skin.
    are small vertebrates that need water,
    or a moist environment, to survive. All can breathe and
    absorb water through their very thin skin. Amphibians also
    have special skin glands that produce useful proteins.

    are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting


    the class Aves, characterized by feathers, toothless beaked
    jaws,
    the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate,
    a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight
    skeleton.
    Fish are aquatic, craniate, gill-bearing animals
    that lack limbs with digits. Included in this definition are
    the living hagfish, lampreys, and cartilaginous and bony
    fish as well as various extinct related groups.
