Choose the correct answer.

Which of the following is not a vertebrate?
A. Insect
B. Bear
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

An insect is not a vertebrate because it does not have a backbone. It is an invertebrate. They do have a hard outer skin and bodies with several different parts.

On the other hand, a bear is a vertebrate. It has a spine or vertebral column. The backbone runs from the head to the tail along the top side of the body. The vertebral column is the core of the endoskeleton. It allows a vertebrate to hold its shape. It also houses and protects the spinal (nerve) cord that passes through it.
