Animal Kingdom

• Some animals have bones or cartilage inside that
  give them shape and help them to move.
• If you remove all the fleshy parts of the animal
  you will have a skeleton.

4
Fish

• All fish have vertebrae or cartilage inside that
  give them shape and help them to turn. Some fish
  have bones and cartilage, while others have only
  cartilage.
• Cartilage feels like rubber. Its softer and more
  flexible than bones because it doesnt have
  calcium in it.

InvertebratesBody Shape

• There are two basic symmetrical body plans. One
  is circular, round, like the sea anemone and has
  a mouth in the center. A starfish, even with five
  or more arms has no head and a mouth in the
  center.

Mammals

• Mammals are warm-blooded, maintaining their body
  temperature by eating food and drinking water.
• The body hairs of many species help keep the skin
  hydrated and the body warm.

7
Birds

• Many bird species migrate to warmer climates when
  temperatures in their summer environments begin
  to cool.

ReptilesFinding Food

• Animals that eat only plants found growing in
  their ecosystem are called herbivores. Most
  reptiles are omnivorous, eating meat if
  available, and plants that provide nutrition and
  water.

AmphibiansMimicry

• Some frogs are able to quickly change their belly
  color to a bright orange or yellow. The attacking
  predator is suddenly confused into thinking that
  the frog is poisonous and turns away.
