Invertebrates

An okapi is a mammal in the family giraffidae, along with giraffes. it lives in the rainforests of the democratic republic of the congo. it resembles a short a giraffe,with dark fur on its torso and stripes on its flanks. It is currently an endangered species

Anemones are a genus of up to 120 species of the flowers. They come in different shades of the following colours: green, blue, brown, red and teal. they are often sold as a mixture of colours.

Clams donÕt basically grow; they actually shed their shells through a process called molting. After a few days, a new shell will grow on the shell edge of a clam.

Female seahorse lay eggs, which the male seahorse carry in a pouch on his stomach until they hatch.

Spiders and praying mantids are examples of carnivorous (or rather, insectivorous) invertebrates.

The spiky spines of purple sea urchins range in colours depending on the exact species and the maturity of the urchin.

They can range from light blue, dark blue, royal blue, indigo, light purple, violet and dark purple.

They do not give birth. They release sperm and eggs into the water, some species retain the eggs in their shell for incubation.

in order to be a vertebrate you need to have a back bone. and because clowfish do have back bones they are there for vertebrates.

The structure in an echinoderm that is a bulb like sac and pushes what is called the ampulla. It is connected to the radial canal of the water-vascular system. Each ampulla controls tube feet. The tube feet can extend when water pressure is increased by the ampulla being squeezed.

Cnidereans have pressure-sensitive poison glands called nematocysts that are usually on their tentacles. When their [prey] touches these nematocysts, small "fangs" inject poison into the [prey]. The poison in the nematocysts can paralyze or even kill small animals. Once the prey is subdued, the tentacles pull the prey towards the mouth.

There are a couple of classes in the phylum Cnidaria : Schyphozoa, Cubuzoa, Anthozoa, Hydrazoa. Scyphozoa consists of the true jellyfish. Cubozoa are jellyfish with a cube/box shaped medusae stage. The main genus that make up the class Cubuzoa is the Box Jellyfish : A jellyfish with the deadliest venom in the animal kingdom. Hydrazoa's are smell marine animals including the Hydra, and the Porteguse Man of War. Anthozoa includes Sea Anomenes and Corals. These organisms are generally in the polyp stage throughout their life.

Sea cucumbers are part of Phylum Echinodermata along with starfish, sea urchins, sand dollars, crinoids

and brittle stars..

bees nest

==============

Honey bees collect nectar from flowers and store it in wax honeycomb in their hive. The bees will wait until the water content of the nectar has decreased and then cap the cured honey with a wax cap.

No salmons do not eat mushrooms. The salmon fish eats small insects, plankton, small fish or invertebrates. There are two types of salmon, freshwater or wild salmon.

The only requirement starfish have of their environment is seawater. They have a unique ability to adapt to changing climates and environments. They can handle anywhere from frigid arctic to tropical waters, and from intertidal areas to almost 20,000 feet deep.

"De" is a preposition that translates to "of" or "from" usually. It could be either in this case.

Like vertebrates, cephalopods can focus their eyes. Cephalopod vision is acute, and training experiments have shown that the common octopus can distinguish the brightness, size, shape, and horizontal or vertical orientation of objects.

the octopus can breathe through its eight legs. The eight legs have little holes in them that way the octopus breathe. Also the octopus belongs to the phylum mollusk. Octopus's are Ectothermic. And a structure for defense is they can flee very very quickly, expel ink, or use fast color changing camouflage. They eat shell fish such as clams and snails. They use there strong beak to puncture the shell of its prey and suck out the contents! Thanks you.
