Vertebrate and invertebrate animals

 

Vertebrate and invertebrate animals

Animals can be classified as either vertebrates or invertebrates.

Vertebrates are animals that have a backbone inside their body. The major groups include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.

Invertebrates don't have a backbone. They either have a soft body, like worms and jellyfish, or a hard outer casing covering their body, like spiders and crabs.  (BCC, s.f.)

Hello dear students! So, as you know the main difference between vertebrates and invertebrates is the presence of a backbone in the first group! But, besides that, are there other differences between them?
Yes! Of course, in this video you are going to find some extra characteristics,!!

So, please, I need that you tell me in the comments one characteristic that represents vertebrates and another for invertebrates. You can choose.
Post it here! 
E.g:
Vertebrates have muscles and skeletons. Some examples of vertebrates are fish (swordfish, shark) and mammals (the human being)
Some invertebrates have soft body, others are protected by a shell. Some examples of invertebrates are annelids (worms) and mollusks (snails.)
