Which mammal has the strongest bite force?
The Orcinus orca holds the record as the strongest mammal bite force although it is not 100% clear, and it is based on happening incidents at f.e. Sea World. But the actual known and *recorded* bite force is one of the Crocodilus porosus, also known as the saltwater crocodile. The strongest crocodile bite force is of TIL's with a bite force of 5,000 pounds per square inch (psi). The *thought* and *not clear* orca bite force is 13,000 pounds per square inch (psi).
Do all mammals have a common ancestor?
Not actually. There were several different marine reptiles that had mammalian characteristics, notably the group known as pelycosaurs. The earliest mammals appeared early in the Age of Reptiles (Mesozoic Era), but were uniformly small in size. The group called synapsids took an evolutionary path to mammals while the sauropsids became today's reptiles and birds.
What can a warm blooded animal do that a cold blooded animal can't do?
A warm-blooded animal can regulate its body temperature internally, which allows it to be active in a wide range of environments and climates. This ability helps them maintain a steady metabolic rate and optimal functioning of their body systems. Cold-blooded animals, on the other hand, rely on external sources to regulate their body temperature and are less adaptable to extreme temperature changes.
What is the toenail of the ungulate?
Ungulates, like cows and horses, do not have toenails. They have hooves, which are hard, horn-like coverings that protect the tips of their toes.
The strongest mammal in the world would defiantly be The tiger, much larger than the lion (and of course strongest too) , it could rip up a polar bear, and it has more body power than a humpback whale.

What mammal has an exoskeleton?
No mammals do.
The armadillo has heavy exterior scales of bone and horn. The pangolin (scaly anteater) also has plate-like scales made of keratin that act as armor. These are not true exoskeletons, as they do not support the organs of the body.
How are birds different from mammals?
Birds are warm-blooded like mammals and lay eggs as some mammals do. But mammals are characterized as nursing their young, which no birds do (although some male penguins have a way of feeding newborns).
Birds are also different from most mammals in these ways:
1) Birds have wings, although some can't fly (penguins, emus, ostriches)
2) They have feathers to aid with flying and waterproofing. Most mammals have fur or hair all over their body.
3) They lay eggs which are fertilized inside of the females (the eggs come out in the same form whether fertilized or not).
4) They have hollow bones whereas mammals have filled bones.
5) Most have a beak or a bill of some kind.
6) The shape of the body: most often a teardrop-shaped body and a long neck with two legs. Most mammals have four limbs with paws or feet to walk on.
7) Most birds have claws and a three-toed foot with the extra toe at the back.
How many indri are left in the world?
It is estimated that there are fewer than 10,000 indri lemurs left in the wild. Deforestation, habitat loss, and hunting are the main threats to their population. Conservation efforts are being made to protect these unique primates and their habitat.
What is the difference between aves and mammals?
Following are the differences between Aves and Mammalia : 1) Aves are oviparous, i.e., lay eggs while Mammalia (most of them ) are viviparous i.e., lay young babies . 2) Aves do not have mammary glands while Mammalia have mammary gland for production of milk. 3) Body of Aves are covered with feathers while body of Mammalia are covered with hairs. 4) Aves do not have any teeth while Mammalia have teeth.
Humans are made of 75 water where is all of it?
It is spread though out the entire human body, between cells and is a component of human blood.
First mistake is to assume that the 75% is located in one single area or space.
It is like oxygen molecules that are dispersed throughout the entire atmosphere of our planet. ( and even present in fluids and solids )

How are fish and mammals alike?
Fish and mammals are both animals with backbones (vertebrates). However, fish typically live in water and breathe through gills, while mammals live on land or in water and breathe air through lungs. Additionally, mammals give birth to live young and nurse them with milk, whereas fish typically lay eggs.
Yes, carnivores are mammals. Mammals are animals that have hair or fur, produce milk for their young, and typically give birth to live young. Carnivores are a group of mammals that primarily eat meat as their main food source.
It is called homeostasis (internal environment maintained at a constant level) or thermostasis (internal heat maintained at a constant temperature). The overall name for the processes by which temperature is controlled is thermoregulation.
No, the Spider Monkey is a mammal, and nearly all mammals give live birth. The only mammals that lay eggs are the platypus and the echidna.
What is the difference between cold blooded and warm blooded vertebrates?
Warm blooded animals generate their own heat through their metabolism.
Cold blooded animals need warmth of the environment to bring their bodily temperature to normal temp.
The main difference between a cold-blooded animal and a warmblooded one is that the warmblooded one has a physiology that includes mechanisms that heat and keep the body warm. The cold-blooded animal lacks these things and its body temperature will change in response to the weather (hot sun, snow) and what the animal can do to avoid the effects of that weather (like a lizard sunning on a rock early in the moring or hiding in the shade at noon).
Warm blooded animals have a constant temperature, and can live in cold temperatures. Cold blooded animal's blood temperature depends on their environment's temperature.
Giving birth to live young and suckling them makes a mammal
In the animal world, it can refer to kinds of parasites or worms that infect creatures. Cattle and sheep often have to be treated to get rid of fluke or prevent fluke getting into their system. Fluke can also refer to an extraordinary and unlikely piece of luck. A hole in one on a difficult hole on a golf course got by an amateur golfer, could be regarded as a fluke.
Do amphibians feed their young with milk?
No, amphibians do not feed their young with milk. Some amphibians lay eggs that the young, called tadpoles, hatch from and then develop on their own without parental care.
Which two vertebrates groups have a steady body temperature?
Birds and mammals are the two vertebrate groups that have a steady body temperature, known as endothermy. This allows them to regulate their internal body temperature independently of the external environment, which helps them thrive in a wide range of habitats.
What are the branches of mammalogy?
The branches of mammalogy include anatomy, ecology, ethology, management and control, natural history, physiology, systematics, and taxonomy. Branches are also divided by animal orders, such as primates and cetaceans.
Why are marsupial mammals only found in Australia?
Many marsupials can be found in the wild in Australia. These include:
Most marsupials are herbivorous, and some of the smaller marsupials are omnivorous.
There is another group of marsupials known as the dasyurids, which includes the carnivorous marsupial, e.g. Tasmanian devils, quolls, dibblers and the now extinct Thylacine.
With the exception of Australia's two monotremes, the platypus and the short-beaked echidna,as well as the 90 or so species of bat, most of Australia's native mammals are marsupials. The dingo, a placental mammal commonly regarded as native, is not truly so. Dingoes have been in Australia for several thousand years.
What is an African mammal beginning with O?
An African mammal beginning with "O" is an Okapi. Okapis are native to the Democratic Republic of Congo and are closely related to giraffes. They have a unique appearance with zebra-like stripes on their legs and a long blue tongue used for grasping leaves from trees.
What mammal has the largest eye?
Eagles, in general, have the best eyesight.
An eagle has an angle of vision of about 300 degrees, and can magnify any given image up to 8 times. They can scan an area of 30,000 hectares from 4,500 feet up in the air. From this height, they can also see a rabbit in the grass.
Owls have the best "night vision". Hawks and Falcons are relatively very close however.
