What do pandas and platypuses have in common?

Answer 1

Pandas and platypuses are both mammals, and they share some characteristics, even though pandas are placental mammals and platypuses are monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. As mammals, they have in common the following:

• They nurture their young on mothers' milk
• They are warm-blooded vertebrates
• They have fur/hair
• They breathe using lungs (not gills or spiracles)
• They have a flexible neck with seven cervical vertebrae
• Sound is produced by the larynx (a modified region of the trachea)
• Limbs are oriented vertically
• The mammalian heart has 4 chambers
• Internal temperature is generally high

Answer 2

The platypus and the bat are both mammals, so they share mammalian characteristics such as having a covering of fur, breathing with lungs, and feeding their young on mothers' milk.

Each is also unique in a different way. The platypus is one of just two mammals to reproduce by laying eggs (the other being the echidna), while the bat is the only mammal capable of free flight.

Answer 3

Guinea pigs and rabbits both eat hay based pellet diets (though guinea pigs require vitamin C to be added to their diets because their bodies do not produce it in sufficient ammounts).

Answer 4

Rabbits and platypuses are both mammals. They both have fur, four legs and a tail. They can burrow. Being mammals, they both feed their young on mothers' milk.

Answer 5

They both have fur and give birth to live young. They are both warm blooded. This makes them both mammals. They both have chisel-teeth. They are both herbivores.

Answer 6

They're both mammals
