SOME FACTS ABOUT FISH
Fish
are backboned animals called vertebrates like humans!

breathe through gills and are cold blooded (we, humans, are warm blooded). Fish are cold-blooded, which means
their internal body temperature changes as the surrounding temperature changes.
Fish

Some
fish are kept as pets in a fish tank or fish bowl.

live in salt or fresh water environments: oceans, rivers, streams, lakes, etc.
