Types Of Amphibians
Frogs and Toads - With roughly 4,000 known species of frogs and toads, this is a group of amphibians that have been well-studied.
Caecilians - Caecilians are amphibians that have a snake or earthworm appearance. Caecilians usually hide underground, which means that they are rarely seen.
Salamanders, Newts and Mudpuppies - There are 400 species of salamanders, newts and mudpuppies.

Types Of Birds
Waterfowl - Waterfowl can be some of the most rewarding birds to identify, and some of the easiest birds for novice birders to learn about. The birds here include ducks, geese, swans, loons, pelicans, coots, gallinules, grebes and related species.Birds of Prey - Owls, hawks, falcons, kites and vultures are all types of birds of prey, and different raptors can be found all over the world. From backyard accipiter to endangered eagles, these majestic birds can be rewarding to observe and identify.Pigeons & Doves - The common urban pigeon may be the most familiar of these bird species, but pigeons and doves can be found throughout the world with dozens of different species. Some are drab while others are fancy and colourful, and all are worth seeing.

Songbirds - The most diverse grouping of birds, songbirds represent dozens of bird families and thousands of species. Among the most familiar and popular are thrushes, orioles, jays, chickadees, wrens, tanagers, pipits, waxwings and grosbeaks.
Hummingbirds - Among the tiniest birds on the planet, hummingbirds are also some of the most fascinating for birders. These flying jewels have more than 300 species, all of which are found only in the Western Hemisphere.

Warblers - Warblers are colorful, active songbirds that often herald the coming of spring in the northern hemisphere. With distinctive markings and unique vocalizations, warblers are highly sought after in the field.
Sparrows & Finches - Seabirds spend much of their lives on, above or in the sea. These can be some of the most challenging birds to see and identify, but the related gulls and terns that are also common near the ocean and seas are much more familiar to many birders.

Arthropods
An arthropod is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton, a segmented body, and jointed appendages. Arthropods are members of the phylum Arthropod and include the insect, arachnids, and crustaceans.

10
Types Of Arthropod
Arachnida – Arachnids are a class of joint-legged in vertebrae animals in the subphylum Cheliceratae
Crustacea – Crustaceans (Crustacea) form a very large group of arthropods, usually treated as a subphylum, which includes such familiar animals as crabs, lobster, crayfish, shrimp, krill and barnacles
Dipoploda – Millipedes are myrapods of the class Diplopoda that have two pairs of legs on most body segments
RAINHART NIEDO
11
Chilopoda -Centipedes are arthropods belonging to the class Chilopoda of the subphylum Myriapoda. They are elongated metameric creatures with one pair of legs per body segment
Insecta - Insects are a class of invertebrae within the arthropod phylum that have a chitinous exoskeloton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae.

Mammals
Mammals area clade of endothermic amniotes distinguished from the reptiles and the birds by the possession of hair, three middle ear bone, mammary glands in females, and a neocortex (a region of the brain).
RAINHART NIEDO
13
Types of Mammals
Monotreme -Monotremes are mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young like marsupials and placental mammals.
Marsupials - Marsupials are members of the mammal family. However, they are different from other mammals because they have an abdominal pouch to carry their young.
Placental - Placental mammals all bear live young, which are nourished before birth in the mother's uterus through a specialized embryonic organ attached to the uterus wall, the placenta.

Reptile
Reptiles, the class Reptilia, are an evolutionary grade of animals, comprising today's turtles, crocodile, snakes, lizards, and tuatura, as well as many extinct groups
RAINHART NIEDO
15
Types Of Reptiles
Crocodile - Crocodiles or true crocodiles are large aquatic reptiles that live throughout the tropics in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Austrilia.
Lizard - Lizards are a widespread group of squamate reptile, with approximately 6,000 Species,[1] ranging across all continents except Antartica, as well as most oceanic island chains.

16
Turtles - Turtles are reptiles of the order Chelonii or Testudines characterised by a special bony or cartilaginous developed from their ribs and acting as a shale.
Snakes - Snakes are elongated, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes that can be distinguished from legless lizard by their lack of eyelids and external ears.
Komodo Dragons - The Komodo dragon, also known as the Komodo monitor, is a large species of lizard found in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Nores, Gili Motang, and Padar.
