2. A creature or living thing, other than human, being
able to move of its own accord. A member of the
kingdom Animalia, and is typically characterized by a
multicellular body, specialized sense organs, voluntary
movement, responses to factors in the environment
and the ability to acquire and digest food.
5. Based on the absence or presence of backbone , animals can be
divided
Animals with Backbone (Vertebrates ): Vertebrates can
be divided into
1. Fish
2. Amphibians
3. Reptiles
4. Birds
5. Mammals
Animals without Backbone (Invertebrates): Examples
are worms, butterfly, arthropods like spider and
scorpion. Mollusks like slug and snail. Echinoderms
like sponge
6. Fish, amphibians, and reptiles are cold-blooded animals. This means
that their body temperature changes with the change in the
temperature of the surrounding
Warm blooded animals : Animals that have same temperature inside
the body all the time. Birds and mammals are warm-blooded
animals
7. Fish:
Live in water
Breathe through gills
Have fins to swim
Body is covered by scale
Examples : cod, shark
Amphibians:
Lives both on land and water
Breathe both through lungs and
moist skin
Example : Frog, toad, newt
Birds:
Birds have a light body.
They are covered with feathers.
They have wings that help them
to fly.
Examples : Crow, sparrow, eagle,
Birds like ostrich, kiwi, and
penguin cannot fly because they
have a heavy body. They are
called flightless birds.
Reptiles
Live mainly on land
Have scaly skins and reproduce
by laying eggs.
Examples : Lizard, snake, and
crocodile
Mammals:
Animals that give birth to
babies (except the platypus
and anteater).
Their bodies have hair and
the mothers suckle their young
ones.
They breathe through lungs
and have four limbs.
Examples : Human, elephant,
horse, cow, dog.

16. Arthropod:
An invertebrate animal having
an exoskeleton (external skelet
on), asegmented body, and
jointed appendages. Arthropods
include: insects, arachnids,
myriapods, and crustaceans.
Mollusks:
Comprise a group of soft-
bodied animals that
includes snails, clams, and sea
slugs. The most common
characteristic of most mollusks
is their shell. Cephalopods,
bivalve and gastropods
Echinoderms:
Are found at every ocean
depth. Include starfish, sea
urchins, and sea cucumbers.
Worms :
Various small , soft animals,
elongated and slightly prominent
or absent locomotor appendages
. Includes annelids, nematodes
and flatworms
Sponges (Porifera}:
Multicellular organisms that have
bodies full of pores and channels
allowing water to circulate
through them
Coelenterata:
Sac form and possess arms or
tentacles long around the mouth.
Most have stinging cells in the skin
and arms. Usually live in the sea,
forming large colonies . There are
two types: jellyfish that can move
freely and polyps that are fixed in
one place.
21. Herbivores : Animals that eat plants
Parasites : Some small animals get their food from other
living organisms
Carnivores : Animals that eat the flesh of other animals
Omnivores :Animals that eat plants as well as the flesh of
other animals
Scavengers : Flesh eating animals that feed on the
flesh of dead animals
22. Viviparous: Giving birth to living young that develop
within the mother's body rather than hatching from
eggs.
Oviparous: Producing eggs that mature and hatch
after being expelled from the body, as birds,
most reptiles and fishes, and the monotremes. In
traditional usage, most insects, mollusks,
and arachnids are also described as oviparous or
“Ovuliparous” and “Ovoviviparous” are animals in
which embryos that develop inside eggs remain in
the mother's body until they are ready to hatch
23. Amphibians: Live on both on land and in water.
Terrestrial Animals: Live predominantly or entirely on land.
Aquatic animals: Live predominantly or entirely in water.
Arboreal animals: Lives mostly on trees.
Aerial animals: Fly and spend a lot of time in the
air.
29. Livestock are domesticated animals raised in an agricultural setting to
produce commodities such as food, fiber and labor.
Livestock are raised for profit or conservation of rare breeds. Raising
animals (animal husbandry) is a component of modern agriculture.
30. Extensive : This form of practice has the distinction of
livestock carried out in natural places, but have been
modified by the work of man .
Intensive : Unlike ranching (extensive) in this way, to carry
out animal husbandry basic variables such as light , water
and temperature are modified by the labor of man.
Mobile : also known under the name of transhumance ,
this variant within the herd is characterized by the
constant transfer of the activity , according to the state
in which the ground after its holding is located .
