Scientists sort the different types of animals in the world into categories based on certain characteristics. Animals are generally grouped into six types of animals. The system for animal classifications is called taxonomy.

types of animals in animal kingdom

The Animal Kingdom

All animals belong to a biological kingdom called kingdom Animalia. This kingdom is then broken down into over 30 groups, or phyla (plural form of phylum). About 75% of all species on Earth are animals. Animals are then broken down into two types: vertebrates and invertebrates.

Animals with a backbone are vertebrates.

Vertebrates belong to the phylum called Phylum Chordata.

Vertebratesare further broken down into five classes: amphibians, birds, fish, mammals, and reptiles.

Animals without a backbone are invertebrates.

Most invertebratesare in the phylum Arthropoda.

All About Amphibians

All amphibians are vertebrates, and they need moist environments or water to survive.

They are cold-blooded.

They absorb water and breathe through their thin skin.

They have at least one special skin gland used for defense.

Most follow the life cycle of egg-larva-adult.

Examples of Amphibians

You can find examples of amphibians all around the world.

frogs

newts

salamanders

toads

All About Birds

Birds are a type of warm-blooded vertebrate that are adapted to fly.

Not all birds can fly, but they do all have wings.

Birds have beaks that help them catch and swallow food.

The digestive system of a bird allows it to eat whenever it can and digest the food later.

Birds lay eggs to reproduce.

They are endothermic, meaning they maintain their own constant body temperature.

They are bipedal, which means they have two legs.

They have hollow bones and their bodies are covered in feathers.

Birds belong to the class called Aves.

Examples of Birds

Birds are some of the most recognizable animals, and you probably see different types of birds every day.

chickens

hummingbirds

falcons

flamingoes

ostriches

owls

parrots

penguins

pigeons

All About Fish

Fish are also vertebrates, and they are considered the oldest-known vertebrates.

They are ectothermic, or cold-blooded, which means they rely on their surroundings to regulate their body temperature.

Fish have fins.

Most, but not all, fish have bodies covered in scales and breathe through gills.

Fish live under water.

Examples of Fish

There are over 30,000 speciesof fish alive today, more than all other vertebrategroups combined.

eels

hagfish

lampreys

minnows

rays

salmon

seahorses

sharks

All About Mammals

Mammals are another type of vertebrate that belong to the class Mammalia.

Young mammals get nourishment from milk produced by their mothers.

Most mammals have hair.

Their jaw is hinged directly to their skull unlike all other vertebrates.

Almost all mammals give birth to live babies.

They are endothermic, or warm-blooded.

Examples of Mammals

There are over 5,500 living speciesof mammals all over the world.

aardvarks

bats

elephants

hamsters

humans

rabbits

rhinoceroses

whales

All About Reptiles

Reptiles are thought to be the first vertebrates to live completely on land. But, not all reptiles live only on land today.

They are cold-blooded, or ectothermic.

They lay eggs to reproduce.

They have four legs or descended from animals with four legs.

They breathe through lungs

Their bodies are covered in scales or scutes.

Example of Reptiles

Different speciesof reptiles can be tiny or huge.

crocodiles

geckos

lizards

sea turtles

snakes

tortoises

turtles

All About Invertebrates

Approximately 95% of all animals are invertebrates. Invertebrates do not have a backbone. There are different types of invertebrates, but they all share a few characteristics.

They are made up of many cells that work together, or multicellular.

Most, but not all, have tissues, cells that work together in a more complex way.

Most, but not all, can move.

There are over 35 phyla of invertebrates.

They generally have soft bodies.

Types of Invertebrates

There are eight phyla ofinvertebrates that are alive today.

Examples of Invertebrates

Most invertebrates are insects, but there are over one million species of invertebrates in the world.

anemone (cnidaria)

clams (mollusca)

coral (cnidaria)

crabs (arthropoda)

earthworms (annelida)

flatworms (platyhelminthes)

insects (arthropoda)

jellyfish (cnidaria)

leeches (annelida)

roundworms (nematoda)

sea urchins (echinodermata)

snails (mollusca)

spiders (arthropoda)

sponges (porifera)

squid (mollusca)

starfish (echinodermata)

tapeworms (platyhelminthes)

Amazing Animals

While all animals have a few things in common, they are a very diverse group of living things. You can learn more about animals by exploring things like names for groups of animals or even the names of animals in Spanish. You can learn about other living things by checking out the different types of plants in the world.
