Animal Behavior

Jewel Plummer Cobb overcame racial and gender discrimination in her field of biology and academia. She faced barriers to pursuing higher education and career opportunities due to systemic prejudices but persevered to become a prominent scientist and educator, advocating for increased diversity and inclusion in the sciences.

Rats typically do not vomit unless they are very sick. Their stomachs are very efficient at digesting food, so vomiting is rare in healthy rats.

The patellar reflex involves the tapping of the patellar tendon to elicit a knee jerk response, testing the integrity of the spinal nerves. The pupillary reflex involves the constriction of the pupils in response to bright light, mediated by the autonomic nervous system. Both reflexes are protective mechanisms but involve different anatomical pathways.

Animals and humans can share a fear of the unknown to some extent. Both can experience anxiety or stress when faced with unfamiliar situations or environments. However, the specific triggers and responses to the unknown can vary across species based on their individual personalities, experiences, and cognitive abilities.

The term is "polyp". Polyps can be classified as either sessile (without a stalk) or pedunculated (with a stalk) growths.

Deer browse on leaves, bark, apples, and corn. They are herbivores.

Dingoes are classified as crepuscular, meaning they are most active during dawn and dusk. They can also be active at night when hunting, making them more nocturnal than diurnal.

It is difficult to determine the exact hatching time for a dinosaur egg as it would depend on the species. However, based on studies of modern birds (which are descendants of dinosaurs), it could range from a few weeks to a few months. Some larger dinosaurs likely took longer to hatch compared to smaller ones.

The role that nectar has in the process of pollination involves gathering pollen on their legs as they drink nectar. At the next floral nectar stop, the pollen rubs off and fertilizes the receiving plant so that seeds and therefore new plants grow.

A deer defends its harem by using its antlers to fight off rival males. They engage in sparring matches to establish dominance and control over the females in their group. Additionally, deer may also use vocalizations and body language to assert their dominance and deter other males from approaching their harem.

Sponges are simple, multi-cellular organisms that lack true tissues and organs. They have a porous body with specialized cells called collar cells that help them filter and consume food particles from their environment.

The are many sea creatures that live among the seagrass like the southern stingray which feeds on molluscan infauna, sea surgeonsfishes and many more. But the main marine mammles that graze on seagrass/eelgrass are the green turtles which are very unique because they can digest cellous with its caecum to breakdown the cellous and the Dugongs and Manatees also graze on eelgrass.

Hope that helps!

The swim bladder allows a fish to be neutrally buoyant, so it does not have to continuously swim to keep itself from sinking to the bottom or floating to the top. All it needs to do if the water changes density is to adjust the amount of gas in the swim bladder.

Snakes are cold blooded, and when weather gets chilly, their metabolism slows down. Warm blooded birds must eat to maintain their body core temperature.

No known animals have the capacity to judge other animals in the same way that humans do. Judgments are typically based on social hierarchy, survival instincts, or predator-prey dynamics rather than personal opinion or moral evaluation.

Predators of the greater prairie chicken include coyotes, foxes, hawks, and owls. Additionally, feral cats, raccoons, and skunks may also prey on their eggs or chicks. Loss of habitat and human activities such as hunting have also contributed to their decline in the wild.

Eels do not hibernate in the traditional sense during winter. However, during colder months, they may enter a period of reduced activity known as torpor where their metabolism slows down and they become less active. Eels may seek out warmer waters or bury themselves in mud to survive the winter months.

Hibernation is typically over for animals in the spring when food becomes more abundant and temperatures are warmer. This triggers them to come out of hibernation and resume their normal activities.

Mostly all fishes have gills to breathe in water because lungs cannot be used to breathe in water. But there are some fishes such as Dolphins,whales,porpoises, etc which have lungs have blowholes on the top of their heads so that as they reach the surface of the water they can forcefully expel air through it.They are known as mammals.

Some animals exhibit behaviors that can be interpreted as similar to sodomy between humans. These behaviors can serve various purposes such as establishing dominance, forming social bonds, or for reproductive strategies. It's important to note that animal behavior is diverse and complex, and not all species engage in such behaviors.

The snow leopard is often referred to as a spirit animal due to its elusive nature and solitary behavior. They can travel long distances for food, with a typical home range spanning up to 80 square miles in the Himalayas and Central Asia.

Decomposers break down organic matter into simpler components like carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. These elements are then released back into the environment as inorganic nutrients. Producers, such as plants, can then take up these nutrients from the soil or water to support their growth and development.

Male tui birds are typically larger and more colorful than females. Males have more prominent white throat tufts and more iridescent blue and green feathers on their bodies. Females are slightly smaller and have less vibrant plumage overall.

Rabbits, deer, and some birds like sparrows and finches will eat mallow plants. Additionally, insects such as caterpillars and beetles may also feed on mallow leaves.
