Bird Reproduction Birds lay eggs when they give birth.

These eggs sit for several days until they hatch into the live, baby birds!

Fish

Characteristics of Fish Fish are scaly, smooth skinned animals

that can only live in water.

DIVERSITY! Fish are the most diverse type of animal.

There are millions of species within the category of fish, and millions more that are still undiscovered!

So… Fish can have all sorts of different

features!

Practice Quiz Question: Fish

Review Fish

What type of offspring do fish produce?A) Eggs that hatch into fishB) Live offspringC) Both eggs and live offspring

CONGRATS! Under the category of fish, there are so

many different species that fish can give birth to live offspring or lay eggs because they all have different characteristics.

legs at all.

mammals who are warm blooded and can live in any climate and maintain the same body temperature.

Reptiles Nails and teeth for

defense. Rough skin under

scales Produce hard

shelled eggs on land
