What are the classifications of animals?

Animals can be classified into different groups based on various criteria such as their body structure, habitat, feeding habits, and genetic relationships. The primary classifications of animals are vertebrates, which include mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish that have a backbone, and invertebrates, which encompass animals like insects, arachnids, mollusks, and crustaceans that lack a backbone. Additionally, animals can be classified based on their feeding habits into herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and scavengers, or based on their habitat into aquatic, terrestrial, or arboreal animals. These classifications help scientists better understand the diversity and complexity of the animal kingdom.
