Vertebrates
The animal kingdom can be split into two main groups: vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates such as mammals, fish, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, all share a vertebral column or a chain of bony elements that run along the dorsal surface from head to tail and form the main skeletal axis of the body.
