It’s a Fish
Sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s a fish and what isn’t. A sea horse
doesn’t look like a fish, but it is. And a dolphin looks like a fish,
but it isn’t!
How can you tell if an animal is a fish? Well, nearly all fish have
scales. Scales are little round or diamond-shaped pieces of thin bony
stuff. They fit together over the fish’s whole body.
And nearly all fish have fins. A fish usuÂally has a fin on its back, a
fin on its belly, a broad fin for a tail, and two fins on each side.
And all fish have gills. Gills are slits in a fish’s head, behind its
mouth. Fish breathe with gills.
Scales, fins, and sills—if it has all these things, it’s a fish!
