All mammals, like all vertebrates, have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.
Baleen whales, like the Humpback or the Minke, that drift through the water gulping up krill by the swimming-pool-ful, have lovely symmetric skulls. They also cannot use echolocation. hey don't need to hunt. They just need to find big clouds of krill to hork down. Sperm whales, on the other hand, plunge into the depths, chasing after giant squid with sharp beaks and suction cups lined with chitinous teeth. They need to know where to go, and fast, and they use echolocation to get there. They also have strange, asymmetrical skulls.But now, a paper to be published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has shown that the asymmetry came first. Underwater, to hear directionally, whales needed asymmetrical skulls.
All species of whales are mammals, which are vertebrates, and like all vertebrates they have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.
All vertebrates have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.
All mammals (including humans) have BILATERAL SYMMETRY.
Bilateral. All vertebrates have bilateral symmetry.
Most mammals have bilateral symetry. Meaning that they have two equal sides.
bilateral
Yes. The flying fox is a type of bat (a fruit bat), and all bats are mammals.

most of them don't.
Black panthers, like all mammals and most land animals, have bilateral symmetry, meaning they are symmetrical on two sides (left and right).
They are bats, sugar gliders, flying squirrels.
Flying squirrels are mammals and mammals are vertebrae, they have backbones.
One type of symmetry is rotation. The second type of symmetry is translation. The third type of symmetry is reflection.
A flying bat has external bilateral symmetry like humans.
A conversation between two flying mammals is a bat chat.
Flying lemurs, or colugos, are mammals and are closely related to tree shrews and primates.
Bats are the flying mammals. There are some squirrels that 'glide' that are referred to as flying squirrels.
Like all mammals, jaguars exhibit bilateral symmetry with the backbone as the median.
