What is the difference between aquarium and a fish tank?
Generally speaking, yes.
HOWEVER, terrariums were not necessarily built to hold water so you run the risk of a catastrophic leak or even losing the entire contents.
My advice would be to NOT use a terrarium as an aquarium. But many have and have had no problems.
If you are tempted to try, check the terrariums seams where the pieces of glass come together. If they are sealed tight with silicone (like an aquarium) at ALL joints, this is a good sign. Fill it slowly with water, checking for leaks all the while. If you see a leak, then abandon the project.
Just remember, you fill a terrarium with water at your own risk.

What is the difference between a sea otter and a dolphin?
River otters have much longer tails and a longer head than the sea otter. Sea otters have have large webbed hind flippers. When at the surface, river otters tend to swim on their bellies. Sea otters float on their back. River otters would be more likely to climb on a log or onshore to eat. Sea otters tend to eat their food in the water while floating on their backs, with the food on their stomach. River otters are on land frequently. Sea otters almost never leave the water. River otters tend to be all brown. Adult sea otters' heads lighten throughout their lifetime, becoming quite blond.
In addition to the above, Sea Otters often gather in large numbers called "rafts" while river otters are more solitary and are usually only seen in groups of 4 or less (mom and pups). River otters can be found in streams, rivers and coastal salt water areas.

What is the difference between bats and kangaroos?
Although whales and kangaroos are both mammals, there are numerous differences between them.
- Whales live in the sea and kangaroos live on land
- Kangaroos are marsupials and have pouches, while whales are placental mammals and do not have pouches
- Kangaroos can only be found in Australia (and tree kangaroos are also found in New Guinea) but whales are common in many countries and international waters, like the Southern Ocean
- Female kangaroos, like other marsupials, have two vaginas, or what are called paired lateral vaginae. These are for the purpose of transporting the sperm to the womb, but there is a midline pseudovaginal canal for actually giving birth. As well as two vaginas and two uteruses, female marsupials have two fallopian tubes and two cervixes. Whales do not.
- Kangaroos have four limbs and a tail. Whales have fins and a tail.
- Kangaroos have fur, but whales have skin.

How do you tell the difference between a male and female butterfly?
Butterflies differ from male to female in many ways. Sometimes this difference is vast and other times it is barely noticeable. With some species there is only a slight variation of patterns on the wings, such as missing a spot on the lower wing or having thicker defining lines. With other species the male and female are so different they are often mistaken for different species, with one being a vibrant colour and the other being dull, brown and grey. Some females mimic other species while the males look very different in comparison. The shape of the wing can also differ. Males have straight edged wings, whereas females sweep in a curved shape. The size also differs but it depends on the species as to whether the male or the female is bigger.
It depends on the species of butterfly the differences in species may be subtle - males generally have more angular wings, longer thinner bodies, brighter colours, and stronger patterns than females of the same species. There are usually obvious differences in behaviour as well - males tend to actively patrol their habitats, or to establish a small territory which they defend against other butterflies. Females by comparison are far more sedentary, and in the early part of their flight period tend to stay in areas where both adult and larval food sources are present.In many species there are obvious visual differences. The Polyommatinae ( Blues ) for example usually have blue males and brown females. Only the male orange tip has the orange wing tips. The males of Hairstreaks, Satyrines, large Fritillaries and Skippers often have androconia ( scent scales ) in the form of dark patches or streaks on the upperside forewings. The male Large Skipper has a diagonal band of androconia on his forewings and the male Silver-washed Fritillary has four bands of androconia on his forewings.To tell if a monarch butterfly is a male or female, you need to look for a special spot. The special spot is called an alar spot. If the butterfly is male, it will have an alar spot on a vain on each hind wing.
What is the difference between a seahorse and a dolphin?
A seahorse is a small aquatic creature that has a tail which curls in spiral. One interesting trait of the species is that it is the male who carries the babies. A dolphin is a mammal, much larger, that is between gray and blue color. They have been known to kill sharks!
They lay (sometimes flop) on their sides and close their eyes, not as long as people do, but they take many naps during a day. Sometimes they will twitch as they are dreaming. Rabbits will only sleep where they feel safe.
What are the differences between yak and water buffalo?
Yaks are very hairy creatures, with very long hair and a large hump over their shoulders. Water buffalo have very short hair, long horns that splay towards their back, and quite a bit larger than a yak. Water buffalo are found in the tropics, whereas yaks are found in the cold mountainous regions of Nepal and Mongolia.
What is the difference between the development of embryos in placentals and marsupials?
The embryo in a placental mammal is fully developed within the mother's uterus, sustained by the placenta, through which it receives all the nutrition it needs. Its organs are fully developed and it is able to survive outside the mother's body once it is born. It requires mothers' milk (or a suitable substitute) when it is born, but it can live independently of the mother, given the right care.
Baby marsupials are born extremely undeveloped, and are unable to survive at all outside the mother's body, until they can reach the pouch. They are born after a much shorter gestation period than a placental of equivalent size, and even the largest species of marsupial is only the size of a jellybean when it is born. After birth, it must climb up the outer fur of the mother and into the pouch where it attaches itself to a nipple. The teat swells in the joey's mouth, securing it in place so it cannot be accidentally dislodged. The joey will usually stay in the pouch for about 6-9 months, depending on the species, until it is developed enough to leave the pouch and move about independently.

What is the difference between endemic and an exotic plant?
Endemic species are indigenous, that is they are native to the environment where they are found.
Exotic species are those that have been introduced.
For instance, the nutria are endemic to regions of South America, but exotic to the Florida Everglades where they were introduced after being set free by fur farmers who found they could not make a living raising them.
