An animal that feeds on dead animals?
fungus, bacteria, carnivores, omnivores ( i.e humans) and lots of other animals. animals dont exaclty always eat something that is alive and kicking. they kill it first then feed.
Carnivores ( Meat eaters ) Eat dead organisms ( Other animals )
What baby and adult amphibians look like?
Babys are called larva and have gills, most adults do not have gills.
Yes, they are. They are not able to generate bodyheat (endothermic).
Most Horn Toads, also known as Horned Lizards, eat harvester ants and crickets. Some species of Horn Toads do not eat harvester ants, however. Those types generally eat smaller species of ants.
They also eat termites, grasshoppers, and beetles.
How do some amphibians live in water and some dont?
amphibians don't HAVE to live in water but can live in either because they have both gills and lungs.
What does A Fish and amphibians and reptiles and mammals and and Birds All Share?
A heart!
respiratory systems,
all are heteratrophic organisms,
all use sexual reproduction (with a few exceptions here and there.)
What biomes does the axolotl live in?
Lake Xochimilco is an endorheic basin. It is the original home of the axolotl, which is now a critically endangered species. An endorheic basin has no outlet and collects water from the surrounding area.
Do amphibians have moist and smooth skin?
Amphibians have several attributes for helping to survive the various dangers that come up when living. One of these is the ability for many amphibians, mostly frogs, to freeze themselves when it is cold outside and then thaw when it is warmer in order preserve energy.
Do amphibians lay mass of eggs?
It depends on the species. Toads tend to lay eggs in strings, rather than masses like frogs do.
Not all types of amphibians lay eggs. There are a few species of frogs which give birth to live young (e.g. members of the African genus Nectophrynoides) as well as many caecilians (which are already fully metamorphosed at birth), and the Luschman's salamander.
How do amphibians hear under the water?
they have a trunk that sucks up water that has absorbed the words and the trunk leads to he brain so that amphibians can hear! WOOP, IM CLEVER!!!! ;D
Why is the Axolotl one of the most scientifically studied Salamanders on the world?
Well i think that because it stays in its larve form all it's life.
Are there any pet store in RI or Massachusetts that have axolotls or axolotl eggs?
no because keeping them as pets is illegal without a license.
^ Whoever answered the question previously did not do thorough research. You can definitely own an axolotl in MA without a permit. I know this by going to the MA state wildlife website and looking at what is unlawful and lawful to own - See 'related link'
You can do the same by checking the RI state wildlife website.
I live in MA and have been looking for an axolotl for several years now and I am going to college for Wildlife Rehabilitation so I do keep up with the regulations. Now I can't give you an answer on where to find them, but I know people do own them. You can try going to an exotic pet store and ask if they can order some for you. They are very common in the pet trade, so don't give up!
^Hi, it is the person who answered previously. and i'd just like to say in my defense that when i first answered this question, i added "I'm not 100% sure because i don't live in MA. but where i come from, no it is illegal unless you have a license." I live in Ontario and am 13 years old, so you can't trust me too much when it comes to MA legal stuff and wildlife rehabilitation. So I'm apologising for my incorrect answer and thank you to the person who corrected me. But i did do thorough research, i went to my local zoo which has some.
What senses are most prominent in the amphibian brain?
For humans is the cerebrum. I think you can guess for the frogs.
What types of reptiles and amphibians coexist?
If you're going to mix species in one tank - the mostimportant factors to consider are (a) Do the species co-exist in their natural habitat, (b) will the living conditions in the single tank be suitable for all the animals you intend to house in it, and (c) will any of the mixed species become food for one of the others !
Are reptiles better than amphibians at living on land?
Yes. Most amphibians cannot go far from a moist environment as they have difficulty maintaining their body moisture.
What animal is an evolutionary link between fish and amphibians?
Fossils show a great record of the adaptation from the fully aquatic morphology of fish to the semi-aquatic amphibian morphology. There are many fossils of fish that had increased thickness and strength of the shoulder girdle, and more limb-like front fins. If you look at the fossil of Tiktaalik you will notice that it has eyes and nostrils on the top of its head, much like an alligator or crocodile. Its front limbs and pectoral and shoulder muscles are also well developed. There are other lungfish that clearly show above water respiratory capabilities as well.
Why is the skin between the bony plates on an armadillo important?
The bony plates on an Armadillo are it's main source of defense against predators. The skin between the plates allow the Armadillo to curl itself into a ball to deter predators. Not all Armadillos are able to curl up into balls however.
Not all of the 20 species can curl up in a ball. The species in the U.S. curls, but can't make it all the way into a ball. Bill Klemm, author of Dillos. Roadkill on Extinction Highway?
