Controversy on Japanese Tradition

What are mammals?
Mammals:

a warm-blooded vertebrate animal of a class that is distinguished by the possession of hair or fur, the secretion of milk by females for the nourishment of the young, and (typically) the birth of live young. 

In recent weeks there was a world-wide news making event. The event was Japans yearly event for Taijis community's hunting dolphin season. The event is a custom for them for years. 

According to CNN News,

"Although the hunting of dolphins is widely condemned in the West, many in Japan defend the practice as a local custom -- and say it is no different to the slaughter of other animals for meat."

 

Is what Taijis community doing right? Many have a different view on this, what is yours? 

Invertebrates

Next are Invertebrates; according to Kidport,

"Of the million or more animal species in the world, more than 98% are invertebrates. Invertebrates don't have an internal skeleton made of bone. Many invertebrates have a fluid-filled, hydrostatic skeleton, like the jelly fish or worm. Others have a hard outer shell, like insects and crustaceans. There are many types of invertebrates. The most common invertebrates include the protozoa, annelids, echinoderms, mollusks and arthropods. Arthropods include insects, crustaceans and arachnids."

  

INVERTEBRATES -
ONE OF TWO MAJOR ANIMAL GROUPINGS

According to Biology4kids 

"There are two basic groups of higher animals. They are vertebrates and invertebrates. While both have advanced through the processes of evolution, there is one fundamental difference. Invertebrates do not have backbones. Both groups are in the Kingdom Animalia, but their bodies are organized differently. What makes invertebrates different? All invertebrates share common traits. At the bottom of the invertebrate world are the sponges. Sometimes they don't fit in but they are still part of the group. Here's the nice and neat little list."

To Begin

On Earth, there is more than 80 million species of all kinds. Learning every single one would take maybe more than a lifetime. If you are just starting out and want to learn about wildlife, then lets make this the most basic structure to learn possible.
 Animals are classified in six groups. Amphibians, birds, fishes, invertebrates, mammals and reptiles.Every single group mentioned here evolved from each other. For example, amphibians evolved from fish and so on. Each containing hundreds of species with in their class. This is a very vague classification, but it is a start."Once you have a understanding of these six groups, you'll be on your way to grasping the basic characteristics of virtually every animal on the planet." (Classification)

Reptiles  animals, comprising today's turtles, crocodilians, snakes, lizards, and tuatara, as well as many extinct groups. A reptile is any amniote (a tetrapod whose egg has an additional membrane, originally to allow them to lay eggs on land) that is neither a mammal nor a bird.^[1] Unlike mammals, birds, and certain extinct reptiles, living .The earliest known reptiles originated around 340-335 million years ago.

Hello and welcome to our blog. My name is Carlo and i am the co-founder of this blog. As a project we decided the topic of animals would be interesting. Animals of all sorts will be shown on this blog, making people more aware of their existence and just for simple admiration. Animals have always fascinated me so it will be great to share my knowledge of them with you all. I hope this blog will be a fun thing for all viewers.
