Class Aves

Fish single looped circulatory system
Fish have a closed-loop circulatory system where blood is pumped by the heart through the gills for oxygenation and then distributed throughout the body, with deoxygenated blood returning to the heart to complete the cycle.
Class Trematoda
Flukes: endoparasites of vertebrates; most complex life cycle of any animal.
Ideal Free Distribution

Advantages of bilateral symmetry in animals
Improved mobility, faster information processing since brain is close to the front. Efficient movement. Specialized appendages.
