The cloaca is an area where the digestive, renal, and reproductive materials are kept before they are eliminated from the body. Reptiles, fish, and amphibians all contain a cloaca. The anus is the opening to the rectum, which is part of the digestive system.

The cloaca (found in amphibians, reptiles, and birds) excretes both urine and feces (it is the only opening) unlike the anus which only secretes feces. The cloaca is also used for mating and laying eggs.

The anus is simply the opening at the distal end of the alimentary canal. Cloaca is a common chamber for urogenital and intestinal discharge found in birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and the egg-laying mammal, the platypus.

Anus is where the feces comes out. Some animals have a cloaca where both the waist and urine comes out together!!!
