Invertebrates are animals like jellyfish, crabs, insects, and octopus. vertebrates are put into five groups. They are mammals, birds, reptiles, fish and amphibians. Mammals have fur or hair and give birth to young. Birds have feathers and lay eggs. reptiles are cold blooded and lay eggs but with a soft shell. Amphibians breathe through their skin and needs to keep their skin moist. Fish breathe through gills and have fins.
