How are anseriformes different from galliformes?
The main difference between the two is that Anseriformes are well suited to a life in the water, and Galliformes are more suited to a life on land. Anseriformes include ducks, geese and swans. They have webbed feet, short legs, dense waterproof plumage and flattened (dorsoventrally) bills. They are well adapted to a life in water. Galliformes include chickens, turkeys, pheasants and quail. They have large, stout legs and are suited to a terrestrial lifestyle (on land). They are not well suited to flying.

Why are reptiles considered much better adapted to land than amphibians?
Reptiles have scaly skin that helps prevent water loss, compared to the permeable skin of amphibians that requires moisture to breathe and stay hydrated. Additionally, reptiles have more efficient lungs that allow them to fully rely on breathing air, while amphibians have dual respiration capabilities through both lungs and skin. Lastly, reptiles lay amniotic eggs with protective shells that allow for successful reproduction on land, unlike amphibians that typically rely on aquatic environments for their eggs to develop.
