Scientists group animals based on the features they share. Here are the five main groups:
Mammals have fur or hair and are warm-blooded. Their babies drink milk from their mother. Australian examples: kangaroos, koalas, echidnas, wombats, Tasmanian devils
Birds have feathers, a beak, and lay eggs. Most birds can fly, but some cannot. Australian examples: kookaburras, rainbow lorikeets, emus, magpies, cockatoos
Fish live in water, breathe through gills, and have fins and scales. Australian examples: barramundi, Murray cod, clownfish, seahorses, leafy sea dragons
Reptiles have dry, scaly skin and are cold-blooded. They lay eggs on land. Australian examples: blue-tongue lizards, goannas, saltwater crocodiles, pythons
Amphibians can live on land and in water. They have smooth, moist skin. Australian examples: green tree frogs, cane toads, corroboree frogs
