Animal Kingdom Description- There are many types of animals. Out of those many they're all classified in their own kingdom type of kingdom. There are vertebrates, which are animals with a backbone or a spinal column. Next are Invertebrates, which are animals without a backbone or spinal column. Invertebrates are Protozoa, Echinoderms, Annelids, Mollusks, Arthropods, Crustaceans, Arachnids and Insects. Vertebrates are Fish, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, Mammals, Marsupials, Primates, Rodents, and Cetaceans.

Keeping the Environment Safe- There are many ways on how to keep the environment safe. Only a few really make a difference. First of all keep your community clean and don't let your garbage accumulate. Second is to keep your surroundings green, which means plant trees and flowers. Trees give off oxygen which helps the atmosphere. Next would be not to pollute. Pollution is one of the main causes of global warming. Now-a-days people just throw their garbage anywhere, they don't care where it ends up going. You can't look right or left without seeing garbage all over.

Mollusks- Mollusks have been found and rocks and have been dated back to about 500 years ago. Most Mollusks have a hard outer shell that covers a soft skin-like inner organ. There are mollusks that live on land, which are the snail and the slug, and there are mollusks that live in water, which are the octopus, oyster, clam, squid and mussel. the snail and slug move by using a flat sole which is their foot. The one's that live in water move by using jet propulsion.

Arthropods- Arthropods are the largest phylum in the animal kingdom. It constitutes over 90% of the animal kingdom. Arthropods are distinguished by an exoskeleton, body divided into distinct parts, jointed legs and appendages and bilateral symmetry. Arthropods are divided up into individual categories such as insects, arachnids, crustaceans, Chilopods, and Diplopods. Each category has a way of being distinguished. Insects have three body regions, six legs, two antennae, and lateral compound eyes. Arachnids have two body regions, eight legs, and mouth parts are modified appendages. Crustaceans have two body regions, two pairs of antennae, and 5 or more pairs of legs. Chilopods have a well-defined head, a flattened top to bottom, a pair of legs per segment, and one pair of antennae. Diplopods have two pairs of legs per segment, one pair of antennae, a well-defined head and is usually cylindrical.

Echinoderms- Echinoderm comes from the greek word meaning "Spiny Skin." Echinoderms are only found in the sea, none live in fresh water or land. They all have radial symmetry, and a water vascular system. There are a few classes that separate echinoderms individually. Such as, The Stelleroids, Echinoids, and finally Holothuroids.

Aves- ==== Birds are very old animals. the first birds lived up to about 140 million years ago. Aves mostly move by flying, and have feathers. The feathers are made up of a substance called keratin. This allows the birds to have extraordinary skills during flight. Also, their skeleton is aerodynamic which makes them suitable for flying. ====
