Chordates
Chordates a
re animals with backbones. Animal groups in the chordate phylum include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.Animals with backbones are the most highly evolved groups of animals, the most complex and complicated. They have interior skeletons and have bilateral symmetry. They have more advanced brains. An chordate takes in food through the mouth. The chordate has a mouth with a tongue. Some have teeth and some do not. It has a digestive system with stomach, intestines. Chordates eat plants and animals. An chordate has a brain and nervous system. Most chordates have two eyes and at least a minimal system of hearing as fish do underwater. Many have excellent hearing. Some chordates are literally blind as the bat, but most have good vision. The chordates have the most developed brains of all the phyla and complex nervous systems.
Tunicates
The Urocho
rdata, sometimes known as the Tunicata, are commonly known as "sea squirts." The body of an adult tunicate is quite simple, being essentially a sack with two siphons through which water enters and exits. Water is filtered inside the sack-shaped body.
sea squirt
sea squirts are also know as ascidians, they belong to the subphylum of the tunicata. tunicates are favored as vertebrates ancestors in the long past. they are small but interesting marine animals. Ascidian Tunicates are called sea squirts because when taken out of the water they squirt the water inside their body with force through the atrium. their body are very simple it is a sack with two siphons through which water enters and exists (it is also filtered in the sack body).

Bull Sharks
Sharks are very aggresive! their skeletons are made up of cartilage than bone, must sharks must keep moving in order to breathe and to stay afloat. Their wide spread of pectoral fins and the upward curve of the tail fin provide lift and sweeping movements of the tail drive, making them good swimmers. Sharks have pointed snouts; their crescent shaped mouths are set on the underside of the body containing several rows of sharp, triangular teeth. They breathe using gills, usually five on each side. They breathe by taking in water and letting it out over the gills. They have two additional respiratory openings on their heads, called spiracles. Fertilization is internal in sharks; the male has paired organs called claspers for locating sperm in to the cloaca of the female. Compared to bony fishes, sharks tend to mature later and reproduce slow. They are found in warm waters around the world's ocean. They will eat anythis they see ( even ALIENS! so be aware). But they can also be fised for their meat, hides, and oils. they weight around 200 to 500 lbs and has a life span of 16 years in the wild. Group name : School or shoal.Bony Fishes
all bony fishs are part of the osteichthyes. like all fishes, they are coldblooded vertaebrates that breathe through gills and use fins for swimming, they have a skeleton of bone, scales, paired fins, one pair of gill openings, jaws, and paired nostrils.Bony fishes show great variety in body shape, but the "typical" fish body shape is roughly cylindrical and tapering at both ends. This characteristic fusiform shape is quite energy efficient for swimming. Compared to other body shapes, this body shape creates less drag.
Flounder
the flound
er fish is a flatfish. their are different kinds of flounder fishs they all depend on the location of their eyes and color. the Pleuronectidae, Paralichthydae, Bothidae, and Archiroposettidae family have their eyes on the left side. Flouder fishs can evove in different sizes. Mature founders can weight up to 600 pounds. In most of the founder fishs species, spawing happens during the hotter months of the year. after hatching from the eggs the tiny creatures appear like most other fish with in other species of eggs rise to a shallow surface.
Atlatic Bluefin Tuna
this tuna is considered to be one of the fastest, and most gorgeously colored of all the world's fishes.their bodies are shape/made for speed and endurance. they are carnivores, they eat smaller fish, squid, eels, kelp and custaceans. they weigh around 500 pounds and has an average size of 6.5 feet! they are warmblooded animals. ( they are eatable Yhumm). they can live from 15-30 years. they are part of the animalia kingdom and in the family of scombridae.
Amphibians
Amphibians
is one of the classes of chordates. The words amphibian means both sides of life beacause they spent the beginning of their life in water and then moves on to land. Amphibians goes through the process of what is called metamorphosis which is when they grow from a baby to an adult. During the summer you see a lot of amphibians because of their needs of keeping themselves moist (hibernating). Also some amphibians cover themselves and stay in mud during the winter season to keep themselves from freezing. (it is a cold blooded) . Some common amphibian are frogs, toads, and salamanders. They have very small vertebrates. Amphibians do reproduce sexually. the egg can be fertilized outside of the females body, then she will lay the egg ( they look like jell drops! that can be black or white) the male will then come by and fertilize the egg. But howw does an amphibian live both in water and air?? well in water amphibians take oxygen in trough their skin which goes directly trough the bloodstream, and on land they use their lungs! most amphibians for example frogs have weaker and shorter front leg and the rear legs are much stronger for jumping!
Bufo
bufo are highly intoxicated frogs that has short legs and no webs between their toes. their colors can range from dull green, tan or even black. When the Bufo id attacked it will release this milky substance that come from those large glands behind their head that toxic liquid can and may burn your eyes inflame your skin and can kill cats and dogs that's a good weapon if you guys are tired of cats and dogs :). interestingly more than one male bufo can fertilize the eggs of a female they feed on ants, beetles, earwigs, dragonflies, gastropods and even cat or dog food have been found in their stomachs!
Green tree frog
for one
thing they are green! ( well some can also be brown, almost black, dark green all depending on where they live and the weather) the female is slightly bigger than the male. common green frogs take between 2 and 3 years to reach breeding age. to get in the "mood" they love to be in a warmer month of the year from September through march and the perfect temperature of 25 degrees Celsius also they demand high humidity, low barometric pressure and to lite up the fire rain! their diet consist of cockroaches, crickets, grasshoppers, and mice.
Snakes
snake is a reptile that has no legs ( but that disability is replace by a strong a muscular "system" that helps it move around the fastest they can move is several miles per hour) and is covered in scales and can have different colors. and throughout the years you can found a snake shedding its outer skin(molting). they have no eyelids they are replaced by transparent covering to the eye to protect it. some snakes have oval pupils. Snakes have a long tong that is separated in two at the end almost looking like a fork, believe it or not they can smell with that! the teeth of a snake is not use to chew they prey but instead it s use to hold their preys, they swallow they preys whole (talking about manners).
Boa
the boa is a non poisonous snake but they are deadly snakes that kill but not swallow an average human.they weight up to 60 pounds.Boas can give birth to live young, which mean that the fully develop inside their mother and once they are given birth to they are on their own, they have to find their own prey, and know ho to hide they will need those techniques to catch their preys because they hide and wait for their preys and surprise your dead, like a python the boa kill it's prey by constricting them to death then swallow it whole. they eat birds, lizards, frogs and small mammals, larger will even eat monkeys,pigs, and deer! they can also live up to 30 years old in the wild.
Krait
the scient
ific nam for this snake is bungarus. there is about 12 species and 5 sub-species of kraits. krait may be black or bluishbalck with white arrows. there are found in open fields, human settlements, and dense jungle. Kraits are oviparous and the female can lay about 12-14 clutch of eggs in piles of leaf litter and they stay there until they hatch. During daylight hours, and at night time they turn aggressive ( ill probably be a smart idea meeting with them n the morning). their venom is extremely powerful and quickly induces muscle paralysis.
Turtles
turtles live on both land, fresh and salt water. the ones that live on land are called tortoises and some that lives in fresh water are called terrapins. turtles live in different sizes from a few inches to three meters. They all have two shells with their bodies sandwiched in between. their heads are sometime pointed out and have no teeth, in contrary they have god eyesight with upper and lower eyelids its third eyelid is called a nicitating membrane that covers the eye. they do walk very slowly because of the shape and it's short legs. Some turtles have tails, while some others do not. Turtles all lay their eggs on land in shallow holes covered with sand. Their diet consist of insect, worms, plants, fish and frogs.
Galapagos tortoise
there is about 14 subspecies of the Galapagos tortoise of which 11
still exist. there are done- shelled and saddle-backed Galapagos tortoises. where it is easier to eat on the ground the animals are dome-shelled and those tortoise that feeds on higher growing plant have longer necks with a curved shell. they may be the size of about 29 inches and 610 pounds, there is not a lot of variation in color. they lead a very peaceful and lazy life, but when it come time to mate which is during january and august the male will stalk looking for a female and other rated R action take place.
Box turtle
Is part of the Emydidae family, they are omnivorous that enjoy eating snails, insects, berries, fungi, frogs, fish, snakes, birds, flowers, worms and roots.they may also live up to 100 years or more.
Lizards
Lizards generally live in the tropical zone where it is very warm. lizard and snakes are different because they have four feet and can move quite quickly. the Gila monster i a poisonous lizards and lives in the American Southwest. its is several feet long and has brown and black skin with colored splotches, and it has poisonous glands that can kill a man.
Crocodiles- Alligators
Alligators and crocodiles are in the same reptile subgroup. they live mostly in tropical or semitropical regions. Alligators are found in the southern united states and the crocodiles in Africa, India, South America, and southern united state. they are among the largest reptile they have their bodies covered with scales and they have webbed toes. they live in swamps, and along the banks of rivers. Crocodiles spend more tie in the water then alligators and also it is ore active then the alligator. they crocodile has this greenish-grayish color and alligator is brownish, and they move slower. they both eat fish and nearby land animals, they also attack man! (maybe even aliens).
Salt water crocodile
the salt wate
r crocodile is the largest crocodilian, growing over 0 ft. in length and they weight about 2200 pounds. thy are excellent swimmers and have often been spotted far out at sea. they will eat anything they can put their jaws on things like monkeys, wild boar, and even sharks. Part of the Bask or Float group. their average life spent is 70 years.
