Vertebrates have backbones, other animals (besides vertebrates) don't have back bones.

How does the snake retina differ from that of other vertebrates?
Snakes eyes differ from eyes of mammals or other vertebrates. Other vertebrates are able to focus a sharp image on he retina of their eyes, by using a special muscle to change the shape of the lens. In many snakes though these muscles are absent, therefore a snake cannot focus on a stationary object. They are however very sensitive to movement. Some snakes have excellent eye sight but they are very uncommon.
How do mammals differ from birds and what adaptation's do they share?
Adaptations that birds and mammals share include the fact that they are both warm blooded, they are both vertebrates, and they both have four chambered hearts. Unlike mammals, birds are covered in feathers and all birds lay eggs. Unlike birds, mammals are covered in hair, produce milk for their young, and nearly all mammals give birth to live young (except a few species that lay eggs).
How is vertebrates different from other animals?
vertebrates differ from other animals because they have a central nervous system running down their back
How do vertebrates differ in the way they control body temperature?
answer these questions....
Can a reptile be a mammal?
Yes, reptiles are NOT mammals. Reptiles are exothermic vertebrates (coldblooded), have no fur, lay eggs and do not lactate. Mammals are endothermic vertebrates (warmblooded), have fur/hair, give birth to live young and lactate.
How many vertebraes are in a porpoise?
There are 6 species of porpoise. Naturally the vertebrates differ. The most recorded is that of the finless porpoise, with only 58 to 65 vertebrates.
How do mammal kidneys differ from the kidneys of other vertebrates?
Only mammalian kidneys have a renal pelvis (dilated beginning of the ureter) and renal pyramids (8 to 18 cone-shaped tissues in the renal medulla). The renal medulla (the innermost part of the kidney), and the renal cortex (surrounds the renal medulla) are more distinguishable in mammals than in other vertebrates.
