Is it true that only birds and mammals are warm blooded animals?
Yes. Only birds and mammals are warm-blooded.
What happens to the notochord as a bat develops?
During the development of most vertebrates, the notochord becomes the nucleus pulpous. In some species, such as the sturgeon and hagfish, the notochord remains even after adulthood is reached.
What organs do mammals have that other animals don't?
Mammary glands (in adult females), a neocortex (a region of the brain), a corpus callosum (another region of the brain, in placental mammals only), and the malleus and incus middle ear bones.
What mammal has less than four limbs?
The only mammal species with less than four effective limbs are the sea mammals, like the orca, whale, sea lion, walrus etc. In some of them ther are still clear remnants of what once were hind legs; the orca and whale just have one tiny piece of bone left, so they can be regarded as really having less than four limbs. There are no land mammals with fewer than four limbs.
Different mammals eat different food. Mammals occupy varying places on a food chain. Some mammals are vegetarians, they are primary consumers. Some mammals are carnivores, they are higher level consumers. Some mammals are omnivores.

What does it mean if your temperature is 96.4?

Are animals eyes different to human eyes?
As we all know it...we blink, but fish on the other hand...don't.
It's all about the cones and coloring in it since fish can only see some colors, and they are different from us humans
--well as we all know. fish can see in water whilst humans cant. so their lens shape differs from ours in the sense that they can see light refraction under water whilst humans cant. because lights speed differs in air and water.
What is the current largests mammal?
The Blue Whale is believed to be the largest animal ever to have lived.

Why does a platypus store fat inside of its tail?
Platypuses do not always have a big tail. The size of a platypus's tail is a indication of how healthy it is, and how much food has been available. A platypus stores most of its body fat in its tail to help it survive when food is limited, and to prepare for when the female must incubate her eggs and care for the young when they hatch.
The tail is also useful for other purposes, and needs to be a good size in order to perform these functions. During the breeding season, the female digs herself a chamber within her deep burrow, and this chamber is lined with leaves and other nesting material. The female with carry this nesting material rolled underneath her tail as she climbs up and down steep riverbanks. In addition, the tail of a platypus helps the animal to swim and acts as a rudder when it dives.
What are examples of placental mammals?
Examples of placental mammals are
Not all mammals are placental.
The term "placental mammals" refers to those mammals which give live birth to fully developed young. these young have been nourished via the placenta, usually for several weeks to several months or longer, depending upon the size of the mammal.
Placental mammals may be distinguished from marsupials by the fact that marsupials are born extremely undeveloped. The blind, hairless, bean-sized joey makes an arduous journey into the mother's pouch (although not all marsupials have pouches) where it latches on to a teat. The teat then swells in its mouth, securing it firmly in place, while it continues its development for several more months.
The third group of mammals are the egg-laying mammals, the monotremes. These include platypuses and echidnas.
Yes, a Pit Bull Terrier is a warm-blooded mammal from the canine family.
No. Dingoes are placental mammals. There are just three species of monotreme: the platypus, the short-beaked echidna and the long-beaked echidna.
What is the genus species name for a chipmunk?
The most well-known genus of tree squirrels is Sciurus.
What covers the body of mammals?
The body covering of birds is feathers. Mammals are covered in fur or hair.
How do mammals increase heat loss from their bodies?
Mammals lose heat because they are often warmer than their surroundings, it is a law of thermodynamics that heat flows from warm to cool.
Scientiific name for marine mammals?
Whales and dolphins are under the group called "cetaceans." Seals belong to the group of "pinnipeds."
Can you name some mammal facts?
Mammals are one-celled living creatures classified in the bacteria kingdom. they live in the water and feed off snakes. they die when the are about five years old. they can have up to three children.
Which survivorship curve is typical of humans and other large mammals?
Type 1 = high survivorship when young, and low at old age
Are fish different from mammals in that they are ectotherms?
Yes. Fish are ectothermic, commonly referred to as 'cold blooded', because their body temperature depends on their external environment. Mammals are endothermic, or warm-blooded because they can maintain their body temperature.
no they do not. Mammals are divided into three groups; monotremes, marsupials, and placental mammals.
What is the average lifespan of a carriage-pulling horse?
I have found the average lifespan of a black horse to be about twenty to thirty years. It does not matter if the horse is black, white or whatever color the horse is.

Newts, Narwhales, Nagapies (little night monkeys), Nighthawk, Nightingale, Nuthatch, and ECT.
