This include animals such as earthworms, jellyfish, tapeworms, squids and an enormous variety of animals from almost every part of the kingdom Animalia.

Animals without backbones are called invertebrates. They range from well known animals such as jellyfish, corals, slugs, snails, mussels, octopuses, crabs, shrimps, spiders, butterflies and beetles to much less well known animals such as flatworms, tapeworms, siphunculids, sea-mats and ticks.

The soft-bodied arthropod has primary segmentation and muscles that are intrasegmental, or within each segment. Movement of the body and its parts is relatively simple because the body wall is flexible.

The group of soft body animals supported by calcareous shells is termed as Molluscs. Molluscs are large phylum of invertebrates and even though they have diverse features one unique characteristic that is similar in them all is their body plan. Examples of molluscs include snails, octopuses, squids, etc.

Classification of invertebrates

• Sponges (Porifera)
• Comb jellies (Ctenophora)
• Hydras, jellyfishes, sea anemones, and corals (Cnidaria)
• Starfishes, sea urchins, sea cucumbers (Echinodermata)
• Flatworms (Platyhelminthes)
• Earthworms and leeches (Annelida)
• Insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and myriapods (Arthropoda)

Let’s answer the question, Do fish ever get tired of swimming? The short answer is Yes, they do, Hence the reason they need to rest to regain strength. The creatures that live in the pelagic environment never stop swimming.

It is not good for your fish. Your fish will not enjoy it. They don’t process alcohol the same way we do. In fact, it may kill your fish, as the alcohol will inhibit their gill function or poison them.

Moving forward: Sharks are the only fish that can’t swim backwards — and if you pull a shark backward by its tail, it will die.

Although some fish can pump water across their gills while at rest, many fish must swim constantly so that water flows past them. If they get trapped, such as in a fishing net, they may get stuck and suffocate, Withrow told Live Science.

Knowing what you now know about fish, gills, and all the amazing wonder that fish are, you could be wondering can fish suffocate if they are pulled backwards through the water. The simple answer is yes, they can.

Sharks can drown when pulled backward because water gets inside their gills. Sometimes, fishers kill sharks pulling them backward for a while when taking them back to the shore. The process of breathing in a shark is interrupted when pulled backward.

In a report by Popular Science, period blood actually does not attract sharks. Although sharks can smell blood because of the chemicals (amino acids) it contains, they don’t interpret it as their dinner bell. On the contrary, sharks sniff for the scent of their prey of choice.

Most species of shark need to remain in constant movement to keep water flowing over their gills, or else they’ll suffocate. But like all animals, sharks still need to sleep. Interestingly, very few shark species have ever been witnessed sleeping, and many scientific mysteries still exist around shark shuteye.

A shark in a fish tank will grow 8 inches, but in the ocean it will grow to 8 feet or more. The shark will never outgrow its environment and the same is true about you. Almost all cold-blooded animals, including fish, will continue to grow as long as they are alive, and may outgrow a small tank.
