Do moluscs have intenies?
yes
What eats sheep head?
The Sheepshead fish is a marine species. Its diet consists mainly of live small crabs, moluscs and bi-valve shellfish.
Do slugs go through incomplete or complete metamorphosis?
Slugs go through incomplete metamorphosis, where they hatch from eggs into juvenile forms resembling miniature adults and then grow larger without undergoing distinct larval stages like insects that undergo complete metamorphosis.
What animals would eat a sheep?
Sheep are by nature ruminants and grazers. They graze for hours upright with their heads down. They also eat grain and hay from feeders and troughs. Then many can be found laying down moving their jaws, chewing their cud.
Do terrestrial animals have limbs to move?
Yes, most terrestrial animals have limbs to move on land. Limbs provide support and facilitate locomotion, helping animals navigate their environment and perform essential activities like hunting, feeding, and fleeing from predators. The structure and function of limbs can vary greatly across different species, allowing for a diverse range of movement adaptations.
Are there more land or water animals?
The first animals to walk on land are unknown. There is evidence that soft-bodied arthropods and slug-like animals visited the land as far back as 510 million years ago, in the Cambrian era, leaving behind mysterious tracks called Climactichnites and Diplichnites. These tracks are mysterious because no fossils have been found of the animals that made them. Some of these trace fossils are as wide as four inches. Perhaps these animals did not actually breathe air, and only slimed along on land for short periods as a way of moving from pond to pond.
How could a whole animal become a fossil?
Generally fossils are formed when plants or animals die (or are trapped) and covered with a layer of mud. This not only protects the dead animal carcass (or plant) from scavengers that may have been lurking nearby, but also retards decomposition. This applies not only to animals, but also fish, moluscs and some insects (where the shells are preserved). As the layers of sediment (or mud) are layered on top of the dead body the flesh decomposes (in the case of plants the soft tissue). Over time dissolved minerals in the soil surrounding and above the now skeleton penetrate the bones of the animal and replace the calcium of the bones, this leaves a mineral imprint of the bone, which is now a considered a fossil. In the case of plants, the imprint of the leaf is left in the surrounding stone. This process happens over millions of years.
