**__[|MAMMALS] __** The first class of animals is covered with hair and they live almost anywhere. They've got warm blood and their babies drink milk and they sweat when it's hot out there.

**__[|BIRDS] __** The next class is lumped together because their bodies are covered with feathers. Their babies are hatched from hard-shelled eggs and some migrate with the weather.

**__[|FISH] __** To breathe under water with gills is a pretty impressive skill. Fins and scales and powerful tails make ocean living ideal.

**__[|REPTILES] __** The critters with scaly skin are cold-blooded and born on land.  Snakes and turtles and crocodiles lay eggs like the rest of them.
