      • Chordata
        • backbone, internal skeleton, well developed brain
        • Pisces
          • Fish, aquatic, gills fins and scales, external fertilisation.
        • Amphibia
          • soft moist skin, simple lungs, external fertilisation
        • Reptilia
          • dry skin and scales, more efficient lungs, internal fertilisation
