What are the Cold blooded animals that hatch from eggs?
Snakes are cold blooded any they do lay eggs. Also alligators and lizards are cold bloods who both lay eggs. More examples are turtles, tortoises, fish, and crocodilles.
If you are wondering what they call cold-blooded, egg laying animals, they are called ectothrems.
How does a chimpanzee attract a mate?
The genitals of the female Chimpanzee balloons into a giant pink swelling during her time of estrus. This is when she is most susceptible to becoming pregnant. The pink coloring and smell of hormones lets potential suitors know that she is receptive. The alpha male usually gets to mate first, followed by those who are aligned with him. Some younger males must mate in secret in order to avoid a fatal beating or exile.
Males attract females through a ritual known as "leaf cutting." They will pick a leaf from a branch and run it through their teeth, stripping the membrane from the stem. This creates a noise that will capture the attention of females in estrus. If the initial attempt fails, they will continue to strip leaves until the noise gets the attention of the females. Sometimes males will resort to shaking entire branches of leaves.
What are some interesting animals to do a project on?
The platypus is an interesting animal. It is an egg-laying mammal that feeds its young on mothers' milk. Males have a venomous spur on eir hind legs which can cause excruciating pain to adult mans, and kill smaller animals up to the size of a medium breed dog.
If you have an earing in your right ear does that mean your gay?
People are really lame if they think that, no one is too sure.
But to be safe from social ridicule just do both of them, cause it would probably be easier. And you don't have one earring that you don't have any clue on what to do with.
How do chimpanzees act around people?
Chimpanzees are not pets. They are wild animals who are meant to live in the wild, not in our homes. Those that have been taken from the forest and their mothers belong in a sanctuary or a high quality zoo. Like human children, ape children learn in a social context by watching and imitating adults. Chimps that grow up apart from a normal group fail to learn the nuances of chimp etiquette, and are likely to behave abnormally.
As adults, chimpanzees have at least 5 times the strength of humans and can be very aggressive and dangerous around people. Zoos usually refuse to accept private owned chimps because they tend not to fit into established groups. Historically, many private owned chimps have end up in medical research laboratories. Today they are likely to end up in roadside zoos.
How have chimpanzees adapted to their environment?
They have long arms so they can swing and climb away to escape danger
They also have opposable thumbs for holding on to branches
They are also adapted to use various tools such as stones and reeds found in their environment
How old is the oldest chimpanzee?
The oldest captive orangutan was named Guas. Guas lived to be fifty eight years old at the Philadelphia Zoo. Wild orangutans have a life expectancy of around forty five years.
How do you make a play monkey out of clay?
you look at a picture of a monkey and take in great detail, the paw, Then you buy some clay and carefully sculpt the paw to the picture of the money. And.... Voila!, you have your clay monkey paw.
Has a chimpanzee ever eaten a human?
No, we share a common ancestor.
99.9% of all biologists understand that the evidence provided by Anthropology, Archeology, DNA and Genetic Sequencing show without a doubt that humans and chimpanzees have diverged from a common ancestor.
Although it has commonly been stated in the past that humans and chimpanzees have 98.5% DNA similarity, this figure has recently been found to be incorrect. Newer research has suggested that there is approximately 96% genetic similarity between Humans and chimpanzees overall.
Of course the fine details depend on what specific chromosomes one is looking at. Although 96% of the DNA is similar overall, there are some very significant differences in some chromosomes, where other chromosomes are nearly identical. Specifically, 18 of the chromosomes of humans are nearly identical to those of chimpanzees, the rest are very different (eg: chromosomes 4, 9, 12, 21, and y).
Some specific examples of differences include:
1) Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes in total while chimpanzees have 24.
2) Chimpanzees and other apes have telomeres about 23 kilobases long, whereas humans are completely unique among primates with much shorter telomeres only 10 kilobases long.
3) The Y chromosome in chimpanzees is smaller than that of humans and only 60% of the genes are similar to those of the y chromosome of humans.

How and why a thumb is an adaptation?
it helps the human to hold things. without the thumb, you wouldn't be able to do many things with your hands.
Why are chimpanzees smarter than humans?
The ape is the most intelligent creature for many reasons. One of the most obvious is that it has appose thumbs. This leads To many other distinctions down the road including creating tools and adapting to certain situations by changing the environment around it. This is just a brief explanation, but i :)
Is it true that all insects have six legs?
All adult insects have six legs, although sometimes some of the legs may be modified and not look like legs. This is unusual, however.
Insect larvae (e.g. caterpillars) often have more than six "legs", although they are a different type of leg.
What are the characteristics of a good goal?
A) must be your own B) must be stated positively - "I" C) must be SPECIFIC and dated D) must be compatible or possible E) must be a burning desire or passion types of goals: short term: 1 day to 6 months mid term: 6 months to 2 years long term: 2 years to 10 years
Can animals survive without their habitats?
no they cannot survive because some of them have basic needs for themselves like their body temperature it is too cold and a bear will stay and sleep outside the cave so the answer is no :D
Why are modern humans not as hairy as Chimpanzees?
Hair is a way to keep warm and have protection from the harmful part of sunlight. When human ancestors became bipedal (walking on two legs), they lost bodily hair and developed darker skin. The darker skin protected the skin from sun damage. The loss of hair gave a larger area of bare skin which would help cool the body when sweating. These traits (and others) allowed humans to be out in the Savannah during the hottest part of the day when other animals (especially dangerous ones) were trying to cool themselves in the shade. Humans were also able to use persistent hunting as well, because they had a more effective cooling system then their prey. Chimpanzees live in dense forests and don't need to spend so much time in the sun because there is a lot of shade within the forest, so having no hair wouldn't be much of an advantage.
What two animals depend on each other for survival?
The birds and the snakes. The snakes and the birds attack each other and at different times, they win. That process keeps the animals from getting too populated and keeps them balanced.
How does a crocodile stop water from getting into it ears and nose when it dives?
A crocodile has a special membrane that protects his eyes. He can also close his nose.
soil, dirt, defineitely not water as water we humans cannot live on/in for long
Monkeys are in a purplish matter and they fling poop at each other. one thing i found interesting about monkey that gorrilas and orangutans and chimpanzees are all not from the same family they belong to different familys
