How can you tell mammalsreptilesand amphibians apart?
Amphibians are vertebrates that have smooth, moist skin. Reptiles are vertebrates that have dry skin and are covered in scales. Mammals are vertebrates that stay warmer than room temperature and are covered in fur.
Are amphibians a type of mammal?
No. There are no amphibians that are mammals. Amphibians are the frogs, toads, salamanders and newts plus their kind. And none of them are mammals. Not all vertebrates are mammals, though all mammals are vertebrates. Vertebrates have backbones, and apes and whales are mammals and are vertebrates. But there are many vertebrates that are not mammals. Fish are vertebrates, and they are not mammals.
Are alligators amphibians?
No. Though they do spend a lot of time in the water, they are reptiles. Amphibians lay their eggs in the water, and reptiles lay their eggs on land.Alligators are not amphibians. They are reptiles. Amphibians are animals that begin their lives in water and have gills, and spend their adult lives on land and have lungs.No, an alligator is a Reptile. A good way to tell a reptile is reptiles have scales and amphibians do not. Crocodiles, Gharials, and Caimans are also reptiles.Alligator's are reptiles not amphibians. Alligators have scales and bask in the sun to heat up.
Is a meerkat an invertebrate?
Meerkats are vertebrate, because they are mammals. You can tell because they are warm blooded, have hair, breathe oxygen, and give birth without eggs. They also reproduce sexually.=============================================================================The vertebrates are all the animals with BACKBONES. That is fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals
How do you tell the difference from mammals from reptiles?
Mammals get pregnant; reptiles lay eggs. Additionally, mammals have fur, feed their young milk, and usually walk on vertical legs, have differentiated teeth, and are warm-blooded. Reptiles have scales, generally do not care for their young, walk with their legs splayed (except for snakes and some lizards, which have none), do not have differentiated teeth, and are cold-blooded.
How can you tell a reptile from an amphibian?
There are a couple of major differences between reptiles and amphibians: * reptiles have scaly skin whereas amphibians have moist skin * reptiles have young that look just like miniature versions of the adult reptile, while young amphibians undergo metamorphosis (except for axolotls), changing considerably from their juvenile form to adult form
What is the difference between dinosaurs and reptiles?
The word dinosaur means "terrible lizard". Dinosaurs were reptiles, meaning that they had no fur and hatched from eggs. They were closely related to lizards, but were really very different. There are many differences, but the main one lies where you'd least expect it. It is the way their legs join to their hips. It sounds funny, but if you think about it really, it is true. If you look at a lizard, you'll notice that their legs are in a kind of squatted position, with the legs going out to the side. A dinosaurs legs, however, go straight down, much like our own. So, that is how you can tell the difference between a dinosaur and a reptile.
Are archeopetryx amphibians?
Nope. ^_^ Although they may have looked like amphibians, dinosaurs were reptiles. Also, not all reptiles back in their time were technically dinosaurs; for instance, pterodactyls (flying reptiles) and icthyosaurs (swimming reptiles) were not in the dinosaur family. The reason for this is that you had to have a special kind of hip joint to be a dinosaur - there were actually two kinds, called bird-hips and lizard-hips. Anyway, you could tell by looking at how the animal walked if it posessed these hips - and thus, if it was a dinosaur or not - by looking at how it walked. If it walked with its knees directly underneath its hip or elbow joints, then it was a dinosaur. For instance, chickens, humans and dogs walk like this. If it walked any other way - for instance, if it walked with its elbows splayed out to the sides like how a salamander walks - then it was not. Hope that helped! ;D

Is snake a reptile?
Yes, a snake is a reptile. It is not an amphibian because amphibians have smooth, scaleless skin which is how they obtain water, but most importantly snakes use an amniotic sac in both eggs and live birth, while amphibians do not. It is not a mammal because it has no hair nor mammary glands.
Mammoth a dinosaurs?
No. Mammoths are from the ice age not the Mesozoic era (dinosaur age).
