How can you tell the difference between a reptile and an amphibian?

because they are cold blooded . && they dont give live birth

Actually, although many reptiles lay eggs, many give live birth instead.

The ones with live births usually care for their young while often the egg-layers do not, but this isn't a firm rule. Lists can be found online, often under "eggs."

How does the background rate of extinction differ from mass extinctions?

The background rate of extinction is much smaller than those that occur during a mass extinction. For example, carnotaurus sastrei went extinct during the mid-Cretaceous, when only a handful of dinosaurs went extinct. On the other hand, 65 million years ago, all dinosaurs went extinct during the K/T mass extinction event.

What is the difference between cow ox bull buffalo?

Oxen are castrated male cattle that are used for pulling carts.

Cows are mature female bovines/buffaloes that have had at least one calf.

Bulls are intact male bovines/buffaloes that are used for breeding cows.

What is a bunny?

The word "bunny" is just a nickname for rabbits. It derives from the old-timey word for rabbit, "coney" (pronounced with a soft o, as in "honey").

People often think that "bunny" is the word for a baby rabbit, but this is not true. Baby rabbits are called "kits." People probably make this mistake because baby rabbits are so cute, and "bunny" is a much cuter name than "rabbit".

In slang, the word "bunny" may refer to young women, as in "beach bunnies" or "Playboy Bunnies" as featured in Playboy Magazine. As with almost all slang, some people

may find this usage offensive.

Can you breed Lionhead and Dwarf rabbits?

You can, but breeding is not an activity to be taken lightly.

Consider that rabbits are overpopulated in urban areas all over the world. Hundreds of rabbits are killed in shelters in North America every year, just because there is not enough room. Are you sure you will find good homes for all your rabbits, and that those homes couldn't have taken home a rabbit from a shelter instead?

If you do decide to breed rabbits, you have to make sure you take good care of the mother and kits. There are many resources online that can give you information.

The lop-lionhead rabbit may look a bit odd though because it is likely that the lionhead's 'mane' would be carried down, though only in odd tufts!

What is the difference between a variable whole life policy and a universal whole life policy?

Both whole life and universal life have cash values. For Whole Life -Picture a rectangle/box with a line from the bottom left corner going up to the top right corner. Everything under the line is your cash value or savings in your life insurance. The entire box is equal to your coverage amount. When you die, your beneficiary gets the box. It doesn't matter how much cash you have, they get the amount of the box. So if you have $50,000 of coverage, and you have $2000 of cash value, when you die they get $50,000 ($2000 of your cash value and the insurance company only has to pay $48,000) If you want to borrow your money, you have to pay it back at a 6-8% interest rate TO THE COMPANY. You borrow your own savings. If you die, they keep your money. And for the first 2-4 years you have your policy, you don't accumulate any cash. Your premiums cover insuance and fees. Universal life is annual renewable term plus a cash value. This gives you an option if your beneficiaries get to collect both your life insuance amount plus the cash or just the life insurance amount. Obviously, no one would choose to NOT get their money, but most don't see the choice. It is made for them. The cost of insurance goes up every year, but your premiums may stay level. Or you can increase them, it's up to you. However, there is a level term where your premiums are locked in and you don't have to worry about the cost going up every year. Eventually with flexible premium universal life, the cost of insurance is so expensive, people can't afford to keep it. The cash value will pay the premiums for only so long before there is no cash left. You're much better off to find a level term, and invest the difference (which you may increase or decrease at will). Once you have enough money saved, and little or no financial obligations (kids, mortgage, debt, etc) get rid of the life insurance. Why pay for life insurance if you have money saved and no responsibilites?

Whole life insurance is a permanent life insurance. Premiums for whole life insurance are generally high and remain status quo throughout the life of the policy owner. Whole life insurance is often seen as an investment as it develops cash value over time. Whole life insurance allows the owner to dip into his insurance through loans or surrender, in times of need.

A flexible universal policy is almost the same as whole life insurance but offers more flexibility for the policy holder. This kind of policy gives the policy owner flexibility to modify the insured amount, or the premiums according to changing circumstances in life.

What is the difference between a groundhog and a marmot?

Groundhogs are larger than gophers and have stronger forepaws and bodies. They're avid swimmers; gophers aren't exactly water-bound and sometimes drowning and flooding their tunnels is used as a means of exterminating them, unfortunately and very inhumanely. Groundhogs measure about fifteen to twenty-five inches in length and weigh between four and nine pounds, but can, if they live long enough, grow to be as heavy as thirty pounds. Gophers (pocket gophers, the "true" gophers, called this because of the food-storage pouches in their cheeks) are smaller and measure anywhere from four to twelve inches in length, and weigh as little as three centigrams (three-hundred grams or so) or as much as two pounds and change (about a kilogram). Groundhogs hibernate; gophers don't. Groundhogs swim; gophers don't (at least not very well). Groundhogs breed in their second year, having only one litter per year; gophers breed in their first year and can have two litters per year. Both give birth to relatively blind and helpless young. Do not attempt to make pets of either of these animals unless you are an experienced handler of wildlife or have done PLENTY of research! They can be very sweet pets, but the last thing you want to do is kill one in captivity because of your own negligence or innocent ignorance. Groundhogs are more aggressive than gophers; gophers are quite docile and more easily tamed; either can be raised in captivity in the proper environment and with proper feeding. Even groundhogs can be tamed, but their aggressive nature can be problematic and you have to work hard with them to make them sweet and cuddly. The groundhog has a national holiday named after it; sadly, the sweet little gopher doesn't. (Gophers are very beneficial in gardens and eat weeds in addition to our prized roots and bulbs; given the chance, they can do more good than harm, but if you plant only desired items and eliminate all weeds, gophers have nothing to eat but what you give them, which makes them your competitor rather than your helper. They like dandelions and most tubers and bulbs.) Groundhogsdon't have many natural predators due to their size; gophershave quite a long list of natural predators: cats, dogs, coyotes, snakes, raptors (owls, hawks, etc.,) weasels, badgers, and skunks. Groundhogs stand upright outside their burrows and warn one another of danger. It's common to see them foraging or alert outside their homes. Gophers are not as bold. The groundhog, also known as the woodchuck (or land-beaver, or whistlepig) is a large rodent belonging to the same marmot family as ground squirrels. Groundhogs are lowland (rather than mountainous) creatures, common in North America and in the northeast- and central-US. They're also found in Alaska, with their habitat extending into southeast to Alabama. They can live up to six years in the wild, but one kept as a pet lived to be twenty-two years old (according to an article at www.wikipedia.org). Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodchuck Gophers are burrowing rodents in the Geomyidae family. Several kinds of ground squirrels of the Sciuridae family are called gophers but are not "true" gophers. There are so many different kinds of gophers, it's best if you read up on them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_gopher. Check out the links at the bottom and they'll tell you all you need to know about a large variety of this cute little species.

What are the features of a kangaroo?

Kangaroos are grey-brown, red-brown or golden-brown marsupials, meaning they are pouched mammals. Their young are born extremely undeveloped, about the size of a kidney bean, and make their way from the mother's birth canal, up a track through her fur which she prepares by licking, to her pouch. There, the joey latches onto a teat which swells in its mouth so it cannot be accidentally dislodged during the mother's movements. The mother kangaroo is able to feed two different aged joeys simultaneously with different milk which meets each joey's nutritional requirements.

Kangaroos' ears are pointed and able to move in many different directions as they listen for potential dangers. They have large hindquarters and long feet with which they can hop for long distances. They do not tire, as the hopping motion actually refills their lungs as they move - therefore, there is minimum expenditure of energy.

There are a variety of different sizes of kangaroos, and they are classified according to their sizes.

What is the difference between an English Shepherd and a Border Collie?

EVERYTHING! GSDs are larger often 65-100 lbs. and can be long or short coated BCs are always long haired a 30-55 lbs. BCs are recognized as #1 most intelligent dog and GSDs are #4. GSDs also have a stronger bite force at 238 psi and ranks in the top ten highest jaw strength for domestic dogs. I don't believe they have tested the BC, if they have i haven't found the results. BCs are most commonly black & white but can be red, blue and i have read black and tan. GSDs are usually black mixed with red, tan, silver, or white. They can also be black, white, sable, cream, or yellow. GSDs don't need as much exercise and can be kept as apartment dogs if given fair exercise BCs are not recommended for apartments because of there very high exercise needs.
