Animal Kingdom

Scientific name: Animalia
The Animal Kingdom, or Animalia, is a major group in systematics. Most animals are multicellular and mobile. Listed below are the phylums found in the animal kingdom:
There are two subkingdoms in Animalia: the Parazoa and the Eumetazoa.
Parazoa are different from the so-called true animals in that they do not have tissue. There are two phylums in Parazoa:

Porifera consists of the sponges.
Placozoa consists of the TBD.

Eumetazoa are called the true animals. There are many phylums in Eumetazoa. They are often divided between various unranked groupings, such as superphylums, but I will list them alphabetically here:

Acanthocephala consists of the TBD.
Annelida consists of the TBD.
Arthropoda contains the .
Brachiopoda consists of the TBD.
Bryozoa consists of the TBD.
Chaetognatha consists of the TBD.

Gastrotricha consists of the TBD.
Gnathostomulida consists of the TBD.
Hemichordata consists of the TBD.
Hyolitha † consists of the TBD.
Kinorhyncha consists of the TBD.
Lobopodia consists of the TBD.
Loricifera consists of the TBD.
Micrognathozoa consists of the TBD.
Mollusca is a large phylum of invertebrates. They are distinguished by a body cavity called the mantle which is used for breathing and excretion.
