What else can I help you with?
Are chickens mammals?
No, chickens are not mammals. To be a mammal, a vertebrate must produce milk for its offspring. Chickens do not. Chickens are birds. They have feathers and reproduce by a hard shelled egg. A mammal is an animal that gives live birth (except for marsupials and monotremes), has hair on it's body and feeds its babies with milk.
The high body temperature of birds and mammals is due to?
The high body temperature of birds and mammals is primarily due to their warm-blooded nature, also known as endothermy. This enables them to regulate their body temperature internally, allowing for efficient metabolism and higher activity levels compared to cold-blooded animals. Additionally, insulation from fur or feathers helps retain body heat in these animals.
Are a rooster's testicles under his wing?
No, actually. A rooster's testicle is actually INSIDE his body cavity, unlike mammals. But being inside his body cavity does not make him infertile, no. Birds have the kind of sperm that grow and thrive from being inside the body cavity, unlike mammals where if the testes were inside their body cavity, this would render them infertile.
When do birds urinate?
Birds do not urinate like mammals do. They excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of a semisolid waste called uric acid, which is combined with their feces and expelled together. This helps birds conserve water and maintain a lighter body weight for flight.
What do you call animals that have inside skeletons?
Animals with internal skeletons are called vertebrates. These skeletons provide support and protection for the body's organs and allow for movement through muscles attached to them. Examples of vertebrates include mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish.
Why mammals and birds spend a lot of time cleaning and grooming their body coverings?
It prevents them getting fleas and other parasites.
Why do mammals and birds spend a lot of time cleaning and grooming their body coverings.?
It prevents them getting fleas and other parasites.
What covers the body of mammals?
The body covering of birds is feathers. Mammals are covered in fur or hair.
What animals are warmblooded?
Mostly birds and mammals.
If birds are mammals how come they lay eggs?
Birds are not mammals. Mammals give birth to live young and nurse them with milk from the mother's body. Birds do not give birth to live young and do not feed their babies with their milk. ----
Do birds or mammals have hotter body temperatures?
Birds have higher body temperatures than mammals. The average body temperature of birds is around 105°F (40°C), while mammals typically have body temperatures around 98.6°F (37°C). This higher body temperature in birds is due to their rapid metabolism and the need to maintain a high internal temperature for flight and activity.
Which two vertebrates groups have a steady body temperature?
Birds and mammals are the two vertebrate groups that have a steady body temperature, known as endothermy. This allows them to regulate their internal body temperature independently of the external environment, which helps them thrive in a wide range of habitats.
Do birds have a coelom?
Yes, birds have a body cavity or coelom. Mammals have two separate body cavities (peritoneal / abdominal and thoracic/ chest) but birds do not have a diaphragm, and so have only one cavity.
What phylum is endothermic?
Mammals belong to the phylum Chordata and are endothermic, meaning they can produce and regulate their own body heat.
What characteristic do both birds and mammals share?
They can both regulate their own body temperature (endothermic).
Which group of vertebrates temperature is stable?
I don't fully understand the question, but from what I gather the two types are birds and mammals. Sorry if this isn't correct. Endothermic means self-regulating body heat by the way.
What animals are warm blood?
Mammals and birds are warm-blooded animals, meaning they can regulate their body temperature internally to maintain a constant level, regardless of the external environment. This ability allows them to thrive in a wide range of habitats and climates.
