The Five Kingdoms - Kingdom Animalia

Kingdom Animalia

Animals are heterotrophic, multicellular organisms with organs or tissues. Most are mobile or have a mobile life stage. All have a larval or embryonic stage of development.

Animals also exhibit different kinds of symmetry: asymmetry, spherical, radial, and bilateral.

Finally, animals can be invertebrates (no backbone) or vertebrates (with backbone).
