Approximately 5% of animal species have a backbone, classifying them as vertebrates. The vast majority, around 95%, are invertebrates, which do not possess a backbone or bones. While some invertebrates, like certain mollusks, have hard structures, they do not have a skeletal system like vertebrates. In summary, only a small fraction of animal species have bones.
