Vertebrate animals are those that possess a spinal column, which is a bony structure that extends along their body, providing support and protection to the spinal cord. This group includes mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish.
Vertebrates are characterized by having an internal skeleton, specialized limbs, and more developed nervous and circulatory systems. They also have well-developed sensory organs, such as eyes and ears.
Vertebrates are highly diverse animals and occupy a variety of habitats around the world.
