Classification

The vertebrate animals

They are a group of animals with an articulated internal skeleton, which acts as a support for the body and allows its movement.

Features

- They have spine, formed by a series of articulated parts or vertebrae, which allow some movements and give them some flexibility

- The body is divided in head, trunk and extremities

- There are male and female individuals, that is, sex is differentiated.

The invertebrate animals

- Invertebrates lack spine and articulated internal skeleton.

- Most invertebrates have external protection, as if it were an armor, such as beetles, but there are invertebrates that do not have any protection, such as octopuses.
