  1. All About Animals By, Miss Abbott

  2. We will learn about many types of animals… • Reptiles • Insects • Mammals • Fish • Amphibians • Birds

  3. What is a Reptile? • Today there are 6,800 reptile species on earth • The major groups are alligators and crocodiles, turtles, lizards, and snakes. • All reptiles are cold-blooded, which is why they warm themselves in the sun, and have bodies covered in dry, horny scales. • Some reptiles lay eggs; others give birth to live young.

  4. What is an Insect? • Insects and their relatives, including spiders and scorpions, belong to a huge group of animals called the arthropods. • The main thing that all arthropods have in common is their hard outer coat, which is called an exoskeleton and protects their soft insides. • The bodies of arthropods are divided into sections.

  5. What is a Mammal? • Mammals live on land, at sea, in the air, and under the ground. • All mammals, from bats to whales, share a number of important traits that make them different from other animals. • Mammals are warm-blooded, they have fur or hair, and most mammals give birth to live young (rather than laying eggs).

  6. What do you know about Fish? • Fishes come in an amazing variety of shapes and colors, but they all have three important things in common: • All fishes live in water, have fins, and use gills to get oxygen from the water.

  7. What is an Amphibian? • Like birds, reptiles, mammals, and fishes, amphibians are vertebrates –- that is, creatures with a backbone and an internal skeleton. • Amphibians live part of their life in water and part on land. • Even those species that lay eggs on land start life in a fluid-filled egg, breathing through gills

  8. What do you know about birds? • Birds are warm-blooded creatures, like mammals, but they lay eggs, like most reptiles. • All birds have feathers and wings, and most birds are able to fly. • Birds are amazingly varied in their shapes, sizes, colors, and behavior patterns. • There are more than 9,000 different species of birds in the world
