Scientists place newly discovered species in smaller categorys for more precise identification. For an example you are not the same as a whale but we are grouped together in one bigger category but the smaller the classification gets it is more precise to the species it gets.

Do timber wolves eat bats for science?

Timber wolves are not known to regularly prey on bats. Their usual diet consists of ungulates like deer, moose, and elk. While they may opportunistically eat smaller animals, bats are not a significant or preferred food source for timber wolves.


Do smaller animals live longer than bigger animals?

In general, smaller animals tend to live shorter lives than larger animals. This is known as the "rate-of-living theory," which suggests that animals with higher metabolic rates tend to have shorter lifespans. However, there are many exceptions to this rule, and lifespan can be influenced by a variety of factors such as genetics, environment, and evolutionary adaptations.


How do scientists place vertebrates into groups?

The vertebrates are animals with a backbone. Scientists separate this group into smaller groups because of their features:how the animal takes in oxygen -- lungs, gills or through the skinthermoregulation -- maintains own temperature (homeotherms) or temperature varies with surroundings (poikilotherms)reproduction -- internal or external fertilization, lay eggs (oviparous) or give birth to live young (viviparous).


What would happen to the world if it didn't have the ocelot?

In an extreme case (which could happen) Because the Ocelot eats smaller animals without them the smaller animals would over run because there would be soo many of them and less of their preditors, then you would also loose species because there are so many of the smaller animals which eat even smaller animals, there would be soo many that the smaller animals prey would soon die out ecause there being over hunted then the small animals would die soo not only would you be loosing the ocelot species you would be loosing the smaller species and the even smaller species making the contense of the rainforest exstinc


Will microwaving animals make them miniature?

No. Think of the Sahara desert. That is much hotter than a microwave and the animals that live there have not became smaller.

What animals would leave tiny prints from their feet?

Animals that are smaller in size will have smaller prints. Animals that have skinny legs and small hooves, such as deer, will also produce a smaller footprint.


Who discovered that atoms is divisible?

The discovery that atoms are divisible is attributed to various scientists over time, but a key figure in this realization was J.J. Thomson. In 1897, he discovered the electron, demonstrating that atoms are not indivisible but composed of smaller subatomic particles. This finding marked a significant shift in atomic theory, leading to further exploration of atomic structure by later scientists, including Ernest Rutherford and Niels Bohr.
