There are over 1 million species of animals on Earth, and they come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Some of the most common types of animals include mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, fish, insects, and arachnids. Each type has its own unique characteristics that set it apart from the others. For example, mammals have hair, four-legged bodies, and warm bloodedness, while reptiles typically lack hair and have scales and cold bloodedness. Birds are feathered, fly, and have hollow bones, while amphibians have moist skin and live in water. Fish have fins and scales, as well as gills for breathing underwater. Insects range widely in size and shape, but all have six legs and antennae. Lastly, spiders have eight legs and spin webs to catch their prey.
