Today we’re going to learn five very interesting facts about vertebrates. fact number one humans are vertebrates vertebrates or animals that have a backbone. The human backbone is called the spine and it is very important part of the human body. It helps us to stand up straight. It supports our body when we run and jump and it protects the spinal cord, which is where messages travel from our brain to our body. If we didn’t have a spine we wouldn’t be a vertebrate other animals, which are vertebrates include dogs monkeys fish and birds.
fact number two There are around 54,000 species of vertebrates that live on earth and scientists with them into five different types to better study them the five types of vertebrates are mammals. That is the type of humans belong to mammals have live young instead of laying eggs and mammals include Dolphins lines and dogs fish. They have bones that help their gills open and close so they can breathe underwater and hatch their young from eggs Birds, which have hollow bones in their skeletal system to help them fly and hatch their babies from eggs, which they usually have in this.
Amphibians this is the group that includes frogs or born underwater and hatch their eggs in water and reptiles. They are born with lungs on land and they include snakes and turtles, but number three. The largest living vertebrate is the Antarctic blue whale the Antarctic blue whale can grow up to nearly 100 feet long and their tongue is as heavy as an elephant. They are also very heavy growing to around 300 tons, which is 50 times heavier than an elephant. The largest vertebrates in the world used to be the dinosaurs and the bones they left behind can tell us about what they look like.
f*** number four. Smallest living vertebrate is a frog this tiny frog was discovered by scientists in Papua New Guinea where they were recording the sounds of other frogs. This frog is very small and was measured at 7.7 millimeters Which is less than a centimeter 7.7 millimeters is around half the size of a human fingernail what a tiny little frog Fact number five the neck of the giraffe has the same number of vertebrae as human necks. The neck of giraffes are very long. They can grow to 6 feet long despite their next being much longer than humans humans and giraffes both have necks made up of seven vertebrae the vertebrae that make up the neck of the giraffes just much larger. I hope you enjoyed my five interesting facts about vertebrates. See you next time.
