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.
Who is the top 5 tallest in the WWE?
Here is a list with info for 21 wrestlers, past and present with some level of importance who are in all probability as tall, or taller than 6.5 feet (2 meters):
Giant Gonzalez
Reis
The Great Khali
Giant Silva
The Big Show
Andre the Giant
Eli Cottonwood
Kevin Nash
Kurrgan
Nathan Jones
Giant Baba
Matt Morgan
The Undertaker
Uncle Elmer
Kane
Ernie Ladd
Giant Haystacks
Psycho Sid
Big John Studd
Big Daddy V
One Man Gang
1. Jorge González, whose actual height is/was roughly 7'6.5" (230cm) was known as Giant Gonzalez in WWF and El Gigante in WCW. He is the tallest commonly known wrestler. He was billed 7'7" and "nearly" 8' tall.
2. Ron Reis, at 7'2", was also known as Ron Studd and the Yeti in WCW. Surprisingly billed this height even when The Big Show (then The Giant) was billed at 7'4" in WCW, and being as much as 2" shorter than Reis. As the Yeti he was merely billed as "THAT MAN IS TALLER THAN THE GIANT!" Over 7'1" is more than likely.
3. Dalip Singh, currently known as The Great Khali in the WWE has been billed anywhere from 7'2" - 7'4" in the WWF and significantly taller than that in Japan but has found a home at 7'3" as of late. His actual height likely to be about 7'1" (216cm) which has been documented before he arrived in the WWE, and also has been listed as low as 6'11.5" in his younger weight lifting days.
4. Paulo César da Silva, also known as Giant Silva in Japan and and Paulo Silva in the WWF, is generally billed 7'3" - 7'5" and comes in around 7' even (213 - 214cm). Generally wears thicker boots to increase his height for effect.
5. Paul Wight's, also known as the Big Show, height is suspect in the sense many feel he is clearly not as tall as he once was, and also wears slightly thicker boots than most current wrestlers. He was more than likely around 7' (214cm) in WCW as the Giant in his 20s, and now around 6'11.5" (212 cm) in the WWE. He has been billed 7', 7'2" and 7'4" (WCW)
6. Andre the Giant was generally billed 7'4" and eventually 7'5" starting at Wrestlemania 3, then back down again towards the very end of his career. He has one of the most widely disputed heights, being listed as low as 6'9.75" but it is generally agreed he was at least 6'11.5" (213cm) in his youth, but this may be due to some level of manifested respect. Andre was likely no taller than 6'10.5" by WM3.
7. Kipp Christianson, (former NXT competitor Eli Cottonwood) is currently listed as 7' and 7'1", but with not many real comparisons to work with yet, at best he can be described as a vague 6'10". Could he be taller than Andre?
8. Kevin Nash, also known as Diesel and various other aliases has generally been billed as 7', with the occasional random bumps and dips above and below. His website lists him at a generic 6'10" (208-209cm), so he could be slightly taller or shorter than that at his peak, but likely has lost some height over the years.
9. Robert Maillet, known to many as Kurrgan is approximately the same height as Kevin Nash (208cm), and was also billed 7' tall in the WWF. Easily in the upper 6'9" range.
10. Nathan Jones is self professed as 6'10" (209cm) and has been billed as much as 7'1." He is likely to be in the upper 6'9" range (208 cm).
11. Giant Baba of Japanese wrestling fame was commonly listed as 6'10.5" but oddly as low as 6'6.5". He was more than likely about 6'9" (206cm).
12. Matt Morgan, known as Beast on the New American Gladiators has been billed around 7' for most of his wrestling career, coming in around a high 6'8" - 6'9" (205 - 206cm) legit.
13. Coming in at lucky 13, The Undertaker has had a consistent verbal and written height bill of 6'10.5" for the last 20 years in the WWE/F, and billed 6'9" in WCW as Mean Mark. He has stated himself as being "Six foot eight, six-nine", so roughly 6'8.5" (204cm) is probable.
14. Stan Frazier is sometimes a forgotten name in the wrestling business. Uncle Elmer (and countless other names) who was billed anywhere from 6'10" to 7'2" (based on unavoidable comparison with Andre), could very well have been over 6'9" early in his career. Due to his lack of marketability, his height was never emphasized like Andre's. His actual height is possibly a high 6'8" but likely 6'8" even.
15. Kane is generally billed as 7 feet tall in the WWE, with the occasional similar comparisons to his TV brother the Undertaker being around 6'10" or 11". He is roughly around 6'7.5" to 6'8" (202 - 203cm) but due to thicker boots to give the impression he is larger than the Undertaker, he is billed taller.
16. The Big Cat Ernie Ladd, often billed 6'9" was probably 6'8" (203cm) and at least 6'7". It is worth noting he was listed as 6'9" in his football days.
17. Giant Haystacks, who eventually became Loch Ness in WCW, was billed as high as 6'11" during his roughly 30 year career, but closer to 6'7.5" or possibly 6'8" at his tallest (202cm).
18. Sid (Sycho, Justice, Vicious etc) has been billed wildly 6'8", 6'9", 6'10" and 6'11" in his career, depending on who the competition was beneath or above him but most often recognized at 6'9". He is more than likely just above 2 meters tall at 6'7" (201cm), but possibly as low as 6'6.5" due to suspect footwear.
19. Big John Studd was very possibly an even 6'7" or a little more (201cm) and was always criticized for enhancing his height with various subtle techniques like extra thick boots, standing on his toes, tall hair style, etc. He was generally billed 6'10". Video evidence from WM2 with Bill Fralic suggests Studd could have been as short as 6'6".
20. Big Daddy V/Viscera is often underestimated in height due the illusion of his size at 500 lbs. He is just around the 2 meter barrier at a very high 6'6" and possibly 6'7" (200cm). He has been billed 6'7 and 6'8" as a face and 6'9" mostly as a monster heel, with a random written billing of 6'6" for what are most likely arbitrary reasons.
21. George Gray, more commnonly known as The One Man Gang or Akeem the African Dream, is another very large wrestler whose stature oftentimes skewed his menacing height. He was generally billed 6'9", sometimes 6'10" or even 7 foot. Early in his career he very well could have been over 6'7", but the Akeem we know "dances" around that mark between 6'6.5" and 6'7" (199 - 200cm). Gray begins the "grey area" where this list is defining extremely tall wrestlers, as he could be into the 6'5" range today.
There are various other wrestlers (most of them in the indies or no notable TV fame) who may be 6'7" or over. To try and verify that they are, compare them to other wrestlers on this list if possible.
To put a line between the tallest of tall and just below, other 6'6" range wrestlers include: The Harris Twins, Big Guido, Prince Albert/A-Train, Dan Spivey, Black Jack Mulligan, Jerry Tuite (The Wall), Andrew Martin (Test), Brian Adams (Crush), Bryan Clark (Wrath/Adam Bomb), John Tenta (Earthquake/Golga), Wade Barrett, Vance Archer, and Hulk Hogan at his peak.
All of these men have been billed between 6'6" and 6'8", some varying depending on the promotion, or the importance of their character. Of course Akebono or Silo Sam could be on the detailed list as well but their overall wrestling related importance is not as high as the legends on this list, or the up and coming stars who may make names in the future purely through professional wrestling, and not acting, MMA, or other sports.
All wrestlers on this list could very well be slightly taller or shorter than these listings, but the order of height seniority and height difference between them is relatively accurate. Starting with Gonzalez there is no legitimate wrestler taller than him, and no one notable between him and the next tallest, so on and so forth. Again, there may be however, several wrestlers not mentioned who are in between.
What is the largest living species of mammal?
The blue whale is the largest living species of mammal, capable of growing up to 100 feet long and weighing as much as 200 tons. It is also the largest animal on Earth.
Animals that hibernate include:
Also, Western diamondback rattlers (reptile) and other snakes are known to hibernate, and well as the Common Poorwill, a bird found in south-western Canada.
What are some potential dangers of cloning extinct mammals such as the mammoth?
The cloning of life remains a deeply controversial and vexing issue due to the ethical implications the technology creates. In reference to literally resurrecting extinct species this creates the introduction of new and alien organisms into a biosphere. Other dangers include the humane treatment as cloning cannot assure the organism may suffer through its creation or if their offspring will be viable and healthy.
Buffalo is known for its rich history as a major industrial and transportation hub in the United States, for its architectural treasures such as the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Darwin Martin House, and for its iconic Buffalo chicken wings, which were invented in the city in 1964.
What family of mammals is the only one to have members who live on land in trees and in the water?
The family of mammals that fits this description is the Mustelidae family, which includes animals like otters and weasels. These animals are versatile in their habitats, with some species like otters being semi-aquatic and others, like weasels, being skilled climbers that can also live on land.
Is a bird a mammal or reptile?
Dinosaurs evolved from an earlier group of reptiles, and birds evolved from a group of dinosaurs.
One of the earliest birds, Archaeopteryx, dates back to the Jurassic. It has many features of dinosaurs, and indeed, several fossils of Archaopteryx were initially mistaken for dinosaur fossils. It is fairly clear from the fossil evidence that birds evolved from dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs themselves date back to the middle to late Triassic. You may wish to look up Eoraptor. Dinosaurs appear to have evolved from socket-toothed archosaurs common in the mid Triassic, which were an early reptile.
The skeletal structure of dinosaurs bears many similarities to that of birds. Birds are classified as dinosaurs, while all "non avian" dinosaurs went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous.
Answer:That may depend on the dinosaur. All dinosaurs are likely to have ultimately evolved from reptiles, but the theropods (bipedal carnivorous dinosaurs) may have evolved from ancient birds. Birds have many features in common with theropods which suggests that they had a common ancestor. It is generally believed that this common ancestor was a dinosaur but it may well have been a bird (see related links).Looking back in time through the theropod fossil record, these dinosaurs appear to be more bird-like the further back in time you look. Raptors are known to have had feathers and were fairly bird-like, but Archaeopteryx was much more bird-like and lived much earlier and may have been an ancestor of the raptors. There is also a controversial fossil called Protoavis that was dated even earlier and was more bird-like still, with hollow bones like modern birds.
So birds may have been around throughout the mesozoic era and pre-date the dinosaurs. We have little record of them though because their more fragile, hollow bones reduce the chances of any fossils surviving to the present day.
What is a mammal called that feeds on invertebrates?
Often, mammals (and other animals) that feed on invertebrates are called insectivores because they feed primarily on insects.
Apart from these, there are several mammals that feed on invertebrates. Monotremes commonly do so, and these are the platypuses and echidnas. Many small dasyurids (carnivorous marsupials) also feed on invertebrates. These include animals such as phascogales and numbats. Other mammals that feed on invertebrates include anteaters and hedgehogs.
How do mammals excrete there waste products?
Okay, the answer i got for this question was that mammals excrete in two ways. The first was in during the digestive system, It simply means that the waste goes through the body and out the anus. The other way is that they go through chemical waste. This means whenever a mammal breathes for example, you breathe in air but you must breathe out the chemical carbon dioxide from the body.
Bats are the only flying mammals. There are also flying lizards, snakes, and squirrels, but they actually glide from one place to a lower point.
What birds are considered mammals?
No birds are mammals. In fact, birds are of a different kind of category, called "aves". Some scientists say that this is just another branch of the reptiles, but some say birds are different.
What mammals grow hair only after they are born?
Only mammals that have hair their whole lives are naked mole rats; this is because their hair doesn't go through a shedding process. Other mammals, like humans and chimpanzees, start growing hair immediately after birth.
What is meaning of Small Mammals?
Small mammals refer to a diverse group of animals that are relatively small in size and have fur or hair. This category includes rodents, shrews, rabbits, and some small carnivores like weasels and martens. Small mammals play important roles in various ecosystems as prey for larger animals, seed dispersers, and ecosystem engineers.
What are some environments that placental mammals live on?
Placental mammals live in almost every environment on Earth. They are one of the most successful groups in the animal kingdom. Mammals in general are very successful and the majority of mammals are placentals. This group is so successful because they are endothermic. The only mammals that are not placentals are the marsupials (kangaroo, opossum, etc) and the prototherians (egg laying mammals). Environments that do contain mammals would likely be constrained to those that are very severe: The deep ocean, extremely high mountain peaks, etc. Otherwise you can find these animals almost anywhere.
Why does the heartbeat of mammals's make a sound?
In all mammals, the heart is double pump. Each side of hte heart has an upper and lower chamber. The top chamber are called atriums and lower chamber are called ventricles. A one way flap called a valve connects the upper and lower chambers. when the heart muscle relaxes, blood flows through the open valves from the atriums into the ventricles. when the heart contracts, the flap is closed with a thump. the valve prevents the blood from moving back into the the atrium, and it is forced out of the heart through another opening. The sound from the valves can be heard through the tissues of the body and is often described as a lub-dub sound. I hope this helps everyone my son did this project for his science fair at Pioneer Academy of Science, Clifton NJ . Great project
What is Michigan's state mammal?
State Nickname: The Wolverine State
State Animal: White-tailed Deer
State Reptile: Painted Turtle
State Bird: Robin
State Fish: Brook Trout
What mammal has the highest population?
The mammal group with the highest population is the mouse. With an estimated 30 per every human on earth, that means there are approximately 210 billion mice on the planet.
The single mammal species with the highest population would be Humans. Cows number approximately 1.3 billion. Dogs number 500 million, cats number 300 million. In short, the animals whose specie has the highest numbers are the ones with the most importance to humans.
Outside of rodents, chickens have the largest population with 24 Billion.
What is the most common mammal in the world?
Some people would say humans, but there are only about six billion of us. I would suggest that it would be either an animal that is useful to us (ie. sheep, cattle) or a rodent. My best guess would be the rat or mouse.
