Living Space and Locomotion
Where vertebrates live and how they move (e.g., fish swim in water).
Body Temperature (Vertebrates)
Body Temperature (Vertebrates)

Study Notes
Vertebrate Classes Comparison
- Fish: Aquatic habitat, locomotion by swimming, respiration via gills, covered in scales, cold-blooded, reproduce by laying eggs.
- Amphibians: Live in both water and land, locomotion by crawling, swimming, leaping, respiration partially via lungs and skin, moist skin, cold-blooded, reproduce by laying eggs.
- Reptiles: Live on land, locomotion by crawling, slithering, respiration via lungs, dry scaly skin, cold-blooded, reproduce by laying eggs.
- Birds: Live on land, locomotion by flying, running, walking, respiration via lungs, feathers, warm-blooded, reproduce by laying eggs.
- Mammals: Live on land, locomotion by walking, running, swimming, flying, respiration via lungs, hair, warm-blooded, reproduce by giving birth to live young.
