Invertebrates

All animals, other than those in Chordate subphylum Vertebrata, are called invertebrates. They comprise about 95% of all animal species.

However, the main advantage with invertebrates is the fact that they rule, and rule big time. They're the majority, they never aspire for a spinal cord, and are remarkably conscious and proud of the fact. They can neither run nor soar, but they simply don't seem to care.

Of all invertebrates, my favourites are the molluscs, since they also have a solid shell.
