CHORDATA
Hey look its Simba!
The chordata phylum consists of: fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds. A chordate consumes its food through the mouth which must hava a tongue. Some have teeth, while other do not. It must contain a stomach, and intestines. They eat plants and/or animals. All verterbrates have similar digestive systems. In verterbrates the digestive
system is very complex. It consists of the gastrointestinal tract (gut), an
extensive tube extending from the mouth to the anus, through which the swallowing, digestion, and assimilation of food and the elimination of waste products are accomplished.

MAMMALS
Mammals have problablythe most easiest noticable way of telling how their digestive systems since we humans ourselves are mammals
BIRDS
Birds' digestive system is similar to every other chordata phlyum species except for one factor. When they produce waste it leaves the body as a mixture of the slodi waste and liquid waste put together making the end product a sloppy whitish brown yellow color which many people see on their cars today.
FISH
A fish eats algae and plants and/or animals. Those
that eat animals have teeth. They contain the same organs as all other chordata species but have gills so that they can survive underwater.

REPTILES
Reptiles consists of snakes, alligators and crocodiles, turtles and lizards.The digestive system of reptiles includes mouth a nd its salivary glands, the esophagus, the stomach, and the intestine and ends in a cloaca. One thing that is interesting about reptiles is that some of them, mostly snakes, developed poison glands in place of the saliva glands.
