What else can I help you with?
Why are some mammals adapted to living in water?
Their habitat has forced some mammals to live that way.
How has the mammalian nervous system contributed to the success of mammals?
no
The explosive adaptive radiation of mammals was most likely a result of what?
Adaptive radiation is usually caused by the appearance of a very useful adaptation or the appearance of a new niche in an ecological community. Both contributed to mammals' adaptive radiation. They evolved molars with four cusps, which increased their potential diet. They were insulated by fur, allowing them to survive colder areas and colder times. And the non-avian dinosaurs became extinct, allowing mammals to take their place as the (on average) largest and most dominant organisms in many ecosystems. ---------------------- PLATO USERS D) Both A and B
How are the flesh eating mammals adapted to eating fish?
because they have the same flesh daaaaaaaaaaaaaa:)
Are placental mammals in north America and marsupials in Australia examples of adaptive radiation?

What kind of envirment does mammals live in?

Why is man considered to be unique among the mammals?
Humans are very unique among all the numerous mammals. So far, we have evolved and adapted the most. Hope this helped! :)
What two theories help explain why some marsupial mammals are only. Found in Australia?
Two key theories that explain why some marsupial mammals are only found in Australia are the "Isolation Theory" and the "Adaptive Radiation Theory." The Isolation Theory suggests that Australia has been geographically isolated for millions of years, allowing unique marsupial species to evolve without competition from placental mammals. Meanwhile, the Adaptive Radiation Theory posits that after the extinction of dinosaurs, marsupials rapidly diversified and adapted to various ecological niches in Australia, leading to a rich variety of species that are now endemic to the continent.
What is the meaning of radiation as used in term adaptive radiation?
In this context, radiation means divergence: the emergence of multiple populations, each adapted to their particular niche or otherwise changing relative to their ancestors and siblings, from a common ancestor.
Do buffalo have fur?
