If an animal has scales, is that enough information to tell you what Class it belongs in? Explain

Most of the animals with scales are reptiles and fish. Animals need scales because if they did not they would be very vulnerable: the scales act as armor to protect them. All reptiles and fish have scales. Reptile scales develop from the skin.
