What lives for 200 years?
Some species of whales, tortoises, parrots, and certain trees like the bristlecone pine, can live for around 200 years or more. Life spans can vary among individuals of the same species due to environmental factors and genetic variability.
What part of a whale is evidence for evolution?
The evidence for evolution in whales can be seen in their skeletal structure, particularly in the remnants of hind leg bones found within the body. These vestigial bones indicate a shared evolutionary history with land-dwelling mammals and suggest that whales evolved from terrestrial ancestors.
Does Pakicetus serve as evidence for the Evolutionist?
It serves as a bit of evidence. There are millions of other bits of evidence. Without it, evolution would not be damaged, as there are so many other transitional fossils. With it, the theory is a few millionths stronger than it was.
What are 10 biotic factors of an ocean ecosystem?
seaweed fish whales sharks crabs lobster coral
How do marine biology study whales?
Marine Biologists study the ocean - the environment, animals, plants, and geography. How all these things affect one another and how things outside the ocean (weather, people, pollution) affect the ocean and all that live in it.
What is the evolution of whales?
chrimps?
What are the environmental Issues of Killer whales?
Killer whales are killed from oil leaks in the ocean
Why has evolution made whales look similar to fish?
It is called convergent evolution. When two different animals have to adapt to the same environment (both whales and fish have to adapt to marine environments) evolution will make them start to look similar, even though they will still retain fundamental differences. For example, whales are mammals, and fish are... fish
How does fossil evidence from the ancestors of whales support evolution?
hard core
Are there any threats to the blue whales environment?
The environmental threat towards blue whales is mainly polution.
What could explain the external form of whales and fish being similar but the whales skeleton being similar to that of a mammal?
convergent evolution
What evidence supports the hypothesis that whales evolved from land-dwlling mammals?
Theory of evolution
What lives for 200 years?
Some species of whales, tortoises, parrots, and certain trees like the bristlecone pine, can live for around 200 years or more. Life spans can vary among individuals of the same species due to environmental factors and genetic variability.
Factors that affect the emperor penguin?
Killer whales
How might plate tectonics have influenced the evolution of whales and dolphins from land mammals?
Plate tectonics could have influenced the evolution of whales and dolphins by creating new habitats and changing ocean environments, which may have led to the adaptation of land mammals to aquatic life over time.
What are some environmental initiatives?
Some environmental initiatives include saving the whales and saving polar bears. Many environmental issues attempt to preserve wildlife for future generations.
Is blue whale a type of dolphin?
No dolphins had a different evolution from whales. Whales evolved from a footed creature similar to a hippo (no, seriously) and dolphins evolved from a footed creature a lot smaller.
