•They have spines and layers whichform a hard shell

6. FISH6. FISH

• Fish have scales, fins located in the thorax,stomach, back and tail and they are tube-shaped.They are aquatic vertebrates..

• They breath through gills. The gills are protectedby opercula.

• They are oviparous, and their fertilisation isexternal.

• The young emerge from eggs and they are calledfingerlings.

7. AMPHIBIANS7. AMPHIBIANS• The young amphibians, tadpoles, have tails

and no legs. The adults have four legs andonly some of them have tails.

• The young breath through gills the adultsthrough lungs.

• All are carnivores. Their main source offood is insects.

• They are oviparous and their fertilisationis internal

• The changes from tadpoles to adults isknown as metamorphosis.
