What are the differences between the mammals amphibians reptiles birds and fish circulatory systems?
Kperson
I suggest you get a copy of Homer Smith's book: From Fish to Philosopher. Start with fish; they don't need a separate pulmonary system (they have gills), to amphibians who have a 3 chambered heart, up to mammals and birds who require essentially two completely separate systems for pulmonary and systemic circulation.

Well, amphibians live in damp wet places so they can keep their skin moist and reptiles need to be dry because they are cold blooded meaning they need sunlight to keep active during the day and birds have feathers that were once scales but they evolved to be feathers enabling them to fly and mammals mostly have hair and they can produce heat without the power of sunlight and they rule the earth today because we are mammals.
