Introduction to Invertibrates

Invertebrates, or animals without a backbone, make up over 95% of all animals on earth. They range from creatures that make their home in the deep blue sea, like sea anemones and jellyfish, to more shallow water organisms such as coral. Other invertebrates can walk on land such as spiders and crabs, and yet others can fly like butterflies, dragonflies, and bees. Invertebrates also range from very simple organisms, such as worms, sponges, and starfish, to very complex organisms such as octopodes.
