The worked solution
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. Shark. Scales, fins, gills: Pisces.
Step 2. Salamander. Moist skin with no scales: Amphibia.
Step 3. Turtle. Dry skin with scales, eggs on land: Reptilia.
Step 4. Owl. Feathers and wings: Aves.
Step 5. Bat. Hair, and milk for its young: Mammalia. It flies, but it is not a bird.
