Scales and mucus skin Fins swimming and balance External fertilization produce jelly covered eggs in water Lateral line along body sense organ to detect vibrations in water Fur/hair Four limbs Young born live Females have mammary glands to produce milk for offspring e.g. elephant, mouse Feathers, scales on legs Wings Two legs Internal fertilization lay eggs with hard shell e.g. flamingo, pigeon Dry with scales 4 legs (except for snakes) Internal fertilization eggs with rubbery, waterproof shells are laid on land e.g. crocodile, python Moist skin Four limbs back feet is often webbed for swimming External fertilization produce jelly covered eggs in water

Eyes but no ears Gills Cold blooded e.g. shark

Nematodes
