Common examples of nematodes include roundworms, hookworms, pinworms, and whipworms. These parasitic worms can infect humans, animals, and plants, causing a variety of health issues. Nematodes are also found in soil, where they play important roles in nutrient cycling and pest control.

9 proximal sesamoids (2 per each digit except first digit has only one)

no distal sesamoids in dog (absent)

4 dorsal sesamoids (under the tendons of the extensor mm of the digit)

Dolphins can live up to 25-35 years in captivity, although some have been known to live into their 40s. Factors such as environment, care, and diet can influence their lifespan.

parents. This mixing of genetic information helps ensure genetic diversity and adaptability within populations, improving their chances of survival in changing environments. Additionally, offspring inherit a combination of traits that may enhance their fitness and increase their chances of reproductive success.

Sea urchins expel waste materials, including feces, through an opening called the anus located near the top of their body. Waste products are ejected in the form of small pellets, which are released into the surrounding water.

Yes, the esophagus travels from the mouth to the stomach in pigs. It is a long muscular tube that connects the throat to the stomach, allowing the passage of food and liquids during digestion.

He is 12' 8" and 1280lbs. I used to live in Branchville,NJ and worked in Sussex,NJ. used to pass by Space Farm in Beemerville on My way to and from. The first time I saw the bear standing there scared the crap outta Me! First thig I noticed was his claws then paws then his teeth. all of which are over 6" He was a gorgious bear. Check out Space Farms website.

Kangaroos belong to the genus macropus. There are several different species of kangaroo. The most common is the red kangaroo, which is part of the species Rufus.

planeria is a fresh water organism. it leave in low current streams. they live in groups.they can be seen in ponds, lake etc. Although planarians can be found in marine or moist terrestrial habitats, most inhabit freshwater areas. terestrial planerians are brightly colored.

Dogs primarily cool themselves through panting, not sweating. They have sweat glands on their paw pads, but they are not a main source of cooling like in humans. So, while dogs don't sweat from their tongues, they do use their tongues to help regulate body temperature through panting.

More than 1000 - actual labs test vary. If a blindfolded person can open a fast food bag and smell a cheesburger and fries and if they are good, they might be able to smell some of the toppings - a good dog can smell every single ingredient, be able to smell who cooked the burger, who put the fries in the bag, what perfume or cologne they were wearing, what brand of laundry detergent they use.

Biologists organize living things into groups to understand the diversity and relationships among species. Grouping organisms helps to study their characteristics, evolutionary history, and patterns of similarities and differences. This classification system allows scientists to categorize and communicate information effectively about different organisms.

The lowest structure of the hipbone is the ischial tuberosity, which is the bony prominence you can feel when you sit down. It acts as an attachment point for various muscles and ligaments that support the hip joint.

Whislt I have no concrete scientific evidence to answer this query, I do have personal experience to call on...

One time back in 93 whilst I was hunting for ivory in Southern Africa, my hunting rifle seized up (silly sally me not taking a spare! my partner James did tell me too!). So when the time came that we came across an elephant, I was faced with something of a dilemma as to how the beast could be floored.

I then remembered this so called 'urban myth' my grandma had told me over brunch once (I was eating waffles, she made them so moist!), the myth being that elephant's have shockingly poor balance. So, being stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea, I decided to test the theory myself. With that, I ran at the trunk-ed one and threw my shoulder against it's side. Imagine my shock when the big eared bugger let out a comic shreik and fell at a perfect 90 degree angle, hitting the floor with a seismic crash!!

So there you have it, 'tumble' as I affectionately named the elephant in question provided me with two beautiful gifts: the answer to an age old question that has bugged mankind since at least the 60's and, to top it all, a simply breaktaking set of keys for my piano in the den.

Glad to help fellow traveller ;) x

No, raccoons do not have the ability to regenerate their tails. Once a raccoon loses its tail, it will not grow back.

Yes, all great apes have 24 chromosomes while humans have 23.

Biologists study living organisms, their interactions, structures, functions, and processes. They explore topics such as genetics, evolution, ecology, physiology, and behavior to understand the diversity of life on Earth. Their research helps advance knowledge in areas like medicine, agriculture, conservation, and biotechnology.

Alcohol can have a numbing effect on a scorpion, potentially making it less aggressive. However, it is not a recommended method for controlling or removing scorpions as it can be harmful to the scorpion and may cause it to become more agitated. It is best to contact a professional pest control service for safe and effective removal.

Orangutans rely on behaviors such as seeking shade or water to help regulate their body temperature. They also have sweat glands on their palms and feet that help them cool down, although they do not sweat as much as humans. They may also adjust their activity levels depending on the temperature to help maintain their body heat.

it has 3 hearts one for itself and 1 for each wing.

The Kreb cycle, or citric acid cycle, is powered by the breakdown of acetyl-CoA derived from sugars, fats, and proteins. This process generates energy in the form of ATP and produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct.

Neither humans or animals die of old age. All humans and animals, die of trauma or disease, trauma being physical damage from accident or violence.

As creatures age their body's ability to resist or recover from disease declines, and disease processes progress.

If the question is do animals in the wild occasionally live long lives and eventually die of one of the diseases of aging, the answer is yes.

Note: When not in the wild it is theoretically possible for some animals, namely humans, to actually die of old age. This occurs when biological processes, such and nerve activity, cease functioning due to wear and tear and result in death. Humans do not naturally regrow nerve cells or heart cells to the full extent of damage received. Also, cell reproduction slows down as age progresses and may eventually cease at some incredibly advanced age. These processes attack the body much of the same way as a disease would, so if diseases are to be classified as separate from trauma, then this should be as well. Furthermore, Biology currently requires life to be necessarily capable of reproduction, so, by that definition and with death defined as any end to life, human females die of age around 40, when they hit menopause and can no longer reproduce.

Guinea pigs have a specialized digestive system designed to process high-fiber foods. Their feces are large because they are mostly undigested fiber, which helps maintain their gut health and supports their complex digestive process. It's normal for guinea pigs to produce these big stools as a part of their natural waste elimination process.

yes. they do.

i feed the ones in my yard and have heard them sneeze on several occasions. it's quite cute.
