Animal Behavior

Spongin provides structural support in certain marine sponges by forming a flexible, protein-based skeleton. Spicules are tiny, needle-like structures made of calcium carbonate or silica that also provide structural support and protection in sponges, as well as help deter predators.

A giraffe is a savanna animal with padded, hairy, and callused knees. Their knees are padded with thick skin and hair to protect them as they frequently kneel down to drink water or graze on vegetation.

1. Salmon: A popular species of fish known for its distinct flavor and pink flesh. It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and commonly used in various recipes.
2. Tuna: A large saltwater fish that is widely consumed for its meat, which is a good source of protein. Tuna can be found in different varieties such as yellowfin, albacore, and skipjack.

Species most often associated with early succession of a forest include red squirrels, ground-nesting birds like killdeer, rodents and a few others. Species of plants include lichen, moss, shrubs, wild grasses and clovers

Primary productivity measures the rate at which energy is captured and converted by photosynthetic organisms through the process of photosynthesis. It quantifies the amount of organic matter produced by autotrophs in an ecosystem, forming the basis of the food chain for all organisms in the ecosystem.

Animals generally mate during specific times of the year, which can vary depending on the species. This is often influenced by factors such as environmental conditions, food availability, and hormonal changes. In some cases, animals may have mating seasons, while others may mate year-round.

There are lots of them. The most famous one is the the Egyptian cobra. The is a Egyptian cobra is a extremely venomous snake which has a "large eye" at the back of its hood. In ancient Egypt, egyptians believe that thsi snake protects the pharoah or king.

LOL DUDE!

A "Physical Adaptation" is when the body of the animal changes in response to a change in its environment or is circumstances within its environment - a new competitor for food or and new food source or a new predator.

This is obviously different from a "Behavioral Adaptation" were the animal changes the way it dose things because of changes mentioned above.

Physical adaptation usually come with associated behavioural adaptations, but behavioural adaptations can develop in isolation. Two animals of the same species can look identical but exhibit different behaviours because they live in slightly different environments.

A red fox will eat a variety of foods including small mammals, birds, insects, fruits, and vegetation. They are opportunistic feeders and will adapt their diet based on what is available in their environment.

The rear flippers of a whale are called flukes. They are broad and flat, and are used for propulsion and steering while swimming.

Yes, whiskers (vibrissae) are highly sensitive tactile hairs that aid animals in detecting changes in air currents and objects in their immediate environment. While they do not directly help with smell, whiskers play a crucial role in helping animals navigate and sense their surroundings effectively.

they mate in the spring time and early summer

Yes female pigeons do lay eggs. Eight to twelve days after mating, the females lay 1 to 3 (typically 2) white eggs which hatch after 18 days. Laying of eggs can take place up to six times per year.

Coyotes are typically cautious animals and may be scared of loud noises, bright lights, or sudden movements. They may also avoid confrontations with larger animals or humans. However, their fear response can vary depending on the situation.

Some professions that work with animals include veterinarians, zoologists, animal trainers, and wildlife biologists. These professionals care for animals' health, behavior, training, and conservation.

Pheromones are advantageous because they allow animals to communicate with each other over long distances, coordinate social behaviors such as mating and territory marking, and can convey information about the identity, reproductive status, or emotional state of an individual. They play a critical role in various aspects of animal behavior and ecology.

The survival adaptations of a black cat include having broad skull with large round ears to provide enhanced hearing to easily catch prey. It also has hair on the soles of its feet to protect it from hot sand.

Animals that may hunt hawks include larger birds of prey such as eagles, owls, or falcons. Additionally, some mammals like foxes, coyotes, or bobcats may also pose a threat to hawks. However, hawks are skilled hunters and are usually able to defend themselves against potential threats.

A physical property is a measurable characteristic of an item that is determined by its appearance. A sentence with it would be "More than one physical property of the substance changed when it became a gas."

Penguins sleep in a standing position to conserve body heat and evade predators. This behavioral adaptation enables them to remain alert and ready to react quickly in case of danger, which increases their chances of survival in their cold and harsh environments.

Almost every animal in the desret is nocturnal only 10% out of 100 are nocturnal so if look up desert animals it might say on the page nocturnal or not :D
