Animal Classification: The Vertebrates Song

Do you have a backbone? That's weird. 95% of Earth life does not. You're called a vertebrate because of the spine you've got. Verify vertebrate classes. Some have warm blood and some have cold. Some are land in the air or sea. What are they called? Repeat after me. Mammals. Reptiles. Birds. Amphibians. And fish. Mammals. Reptiles. Birds. Amphibians. And fish. Most mammals don't come in eggs like all the others. The babies drink milk from their mothers and we all have fur or hair on our soft skin. We have cats, deer, platypus, kangaroos, and you. Fun fact, whales and bats are mammals too. Cows are covered in scales or bony plates. Yeah, we know you can't relate. We lay eggs in the leathery shell. We have snakes, lizards, crocodiles, and turtles as well. Birds are born from hard-shelled eggs. We have beaks and feathers but scales on our legs. Not all of us take to the sky. But most of us have hollow bones and most of us fly. Amphibians lead a double life in cold blood. Our metamorphosis takes us from the water to the mud. We start with gills, then we graduate to lungs. Some of us catch food with our specialized tongues. Some of us look like worms and some of us are long. And some of us are toads, but most of us are frogs. Fish, fish, fish are the largest group of vertebrates. And we've been around much longer. We have scales and fins. We're ectothermic and we lay our eggs in the water. And guess what? A jellyfish is not a fish because it doesn't have a backbone. Same with starfish, shellfish, cuttlefish, and crayfish. These are fake fish. Okay, I'm done. But they're fake. There are so many ways to divide up the data. But we all have spines and subvinyl vertebrata. We have mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, and fish. But only the real ones. Mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, and fish. Birds, amphibians, and fish.
