Study Notes

Vertebrate Classes Comparison

  • Fish: Aquatic habitat, movement by swimming, breathe through gills, scales for body covering, exothermic.
  • Amphibians: Live in water and on land, movement by crawling and swimming, breathe with gills (larva) and lungs (adults), moist skin, exothermic.
  • Reptiles: Live predominantly on land, movement by crawling, breathe with lungs, dry scaly skin, exothermic.
  • Birds: Live on land and in air, movement by flying, running and swimming, breathe with lungs, feathers for body covering, exothermic.
  • Mammals: Live on land, movement by walking, running, flying or swimming, breathe with lungs, fur or hair for body covering, endothermic.
