This animal is called an otter and it is a vertebrate animal. Vertebrates are the most advanced organisms on Earth. Their main characteristic is their backbone which invertebrate animals do not have....

There are far less species of vertebrates than invertebrate animals. You might be asking why. One reason is that vertebrates are usually larger than invertebrates. They need more space. Another reason is that, even though they are more advanced, there are many limitations on the environments that are available to them.

Vertebrate animals are smart... they've got more brains than invertebrate animals. Some of them are really smart .... like you!!! There are many types of vertebrate animals which we will soon discover... But first let's watch a video about the differences between vertebrate and invertebrate animals....


So now you know lots about the differences between vertebrates and invertebrates. Our next mission is to discover more about vertebrate animals...
