16 Apr 🦇Tiny in the NHM: Invertebrates!
HEY KIDS!
Tiny the Lesser-long Eared Bat here. We’re back in the Natural History Museum today exploring the ocean invertebrates cabinet!
An invertebrate is a creature that doesn’t have a backbone. A backbone is a series of small bones, or vertebrate, that extend from the skull to the pelvis. Because we have one, we, and other animals that have backbones, are classified as vertebrates.
