Today, most scientists agree that there are five kingdoms:
plants, animals, monerans (like bacteria), protists (like
amoebas), and fungi (like molds). Monerans and protists
are single-celled organisms, so we know our mystery skeleton
doesn’t fit into those kingdoms. Our biggest clue
is that our mystery organism has bones.
