NO BACKBONE

What about this dinosaur? Do you think dinosaurs were vertebrates?
Click on the dinosaur to x-
ray it!
What about this jellyfish? Do you think a jellyfish is a vertebrate?

it!
What about this eagle? Do you think an eagle is a vertebrate?

it!
What about this worm? Do you think a worm is a vertebrate?

it!
What about this frog? Do you think a frog is a vertebrate?
Click on the frog to x-ray it!
What about this person? Do you think a human is a vertebrate?
Click on the person to x-ray
them!
