Lesson 420: "Our Animal World". For Children up to IVth Class

Invertebrates


Of the million or more animal species in the world, more than 98% are invertebrates. Invertebrates don't have an internal skeleton made of bone. Many invertebrates have a fluid-filled, hydrostatic skeleton, like the jelly fish or worm. Others have a hard outer shell, like insects and crustaceans. There are many types of invertebrates. The most common invertebrates include the protozoa, annelids, echinoderms, mollusks and arthropods. Arthropods include insects, crustaceans and arachnids.

Most of these invertebrates numbering more than 1000 million are found in South Asia in a geographically entity called India, which in early Arab and Persian sources known as Hindustan. The more crooked and cunning among them become kings and queens in every five years to rule the rest of them. These invertebrates are seeking attention of the scientists and scholars all over the world especially after the gas leaking tragedy in one of their towns called Bhopal on 2&3 December 1984. A day after the ‘historic judgment’ on the tragedy was out, on 8 June 2010 the invertebrates were busy giving final shape to a bill to be placed in Parliament titled “Civil Nuclear Liability Bill”, according to which, in case of a nuclear disaster the promoters of the nuclear reactor can give a petty amount as compensation to the victims and can vacate the place and this geographical entity without any other liability.
