THE ANIMAL KINGDOM
SCHOOLYEAR 2013-2014
CLASS 1A
Common characteristics of animals
Animals have some common characteristics:
● they can move ( capacity of movement )
● they have different organs made of different tissues;
every organ performs a specific function necessary to
life
● they have a nervous system: an apparatus that permits
animals to react to different stimuli and to coordinate
the movements of the varius parts of the body
● they swallow food to get nourishment
invertebrates
There are different phyla of invertebrate animals:
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
Protozoa
Porifera (sponges)
Cnidaria (jelly fish, polyps, corals…)
Annelida (worms and leeches)
Mollusca (octopus, snail…)
Echinoderma (sea urchin, starfish)
Arthropoda
CNIDARIA sarah
The jellyfish belongs to the phylum cnidaria.
Cnidaria are sea creatures.
They ususally have tentacles with stinging
cells. The most familiar are the jellyfish, sea
anemones, polyps and coral.

Echinoderms
Echinoderms are marine animals that live in
the ocean. They have arms that radiate from
the center of their body. The central body
contains their organs and their mouth.
Starfish
There are different types of starfish
Starfish
Starfish or sea stars are echinoderms.
They are star-shaped and belong to the class Asteroidea. There are about
1,500 species of starfish in all the world's oceans, from the tropics to the
polar waters.
Starfish are marine invertebrates. They typically have a central disc and five
arms, some species have more than five arms. They have bright colours: they
can be red or orange, blue, grey or brown.
They have complex life cycles and can reproduce both sexually and asexually.
Most can regenerate damaged parts or lost arms.

MOLLUSCA
Mollusks are very old animals. Some fossils of mollusks date back over 500
million years.
Most mollusks have a soft, skin-like organ covered with a hard outside shell.
Some mollusks live on land, some in the sea. Land living mollusks, like the
snail, move slowly on a flat sole called a foot. Ocean living mollusks move or
swim by jet propulsion. They propel themselves by ejecting water from their
body (for example, the squid and the octopus).
Other ocean living mollusks, like the oyster or the clam, attach themselves to
rocks or other surfaces, and can’t move.

ARTHROPODA
This phylum includes most species alive today.
The classes of this phylum include:
● Arachnida (spiders, scorpions and ticks)
● Crustacea (crabs, shrimps)
● Miriapoda (millipedes and centipedes)
● Insecta
Arachnids
Arachnids are chiefly terrestrial arthropods,
but some also live in freshwater and in the sea
(not in the pelagic zone).
Arachnids have a hard exoskeleton and jointed
legs for walking. Their body is divided into two
parts: cephalothorax and abdomen.

Insects
Insects are the largest group of arthropods.
There are over 800,000 different types of
insects that live almost everywhere in the
word. Insects have an exoskeleton that covers
their body. An insect’s body consists of the
head, thorax and abdomen. Insects have
antennae and compound eyes.
Leafhoppers
thomas
Bocydium globulare
It's the strangest insect in the world.
It lives only in the northern half of South America.
It is only 4 to 7.5 mm long.
The purpose of the balls on the pronotal extensions is not
clear. It is a solitary species.
They are hoppers and feed on the undersides of Glory Bush
leaves (Miconia spp.) a couple of meters above the forest
floor. The species is attracted to lights.

TIGERS
The tiger is the largest cat species. It can
be 3.38 m long and weigh up to 388.7 kg.

fur with a lighter underside.
Some tigers are white, with black and grey
stripes.
Tigers are carnivorous, and usually eat
ungulates such as deer and bovids.
They are territorial and generally solitary
but social animals.
Tiger Wijdane

Phylum:
Chordata, or “has a backbone”
Class:
Mammalia, or nurses its young
Order:
Carnivora, or eats other animals
Family:
Felidae
Genus: Panthera
Species: Panthera tigris
Tigers are endangered!
Tigers once lived in Asia, from Turkey in the west to the eastern coast of
Russia. Over the past 100 years, they have lost 93% of their historic range.
Today, they range from the Siberian taiga to open grasslands and tropical
mangrove swamps.
There are only six tiger subspecies remaining. They have been classified as
endangered.
The global population in the wild is estimated to number between 3,000 and
4,000 individuals.
Major reasons for population decline include habitat destruction, habitat
fragmentation and poaching.
