To what order does this animal belong (both animals belong to the same order)? This animal DOES NOT possess scales.

When vertebrates emerged from the water and began colonizing the land, there were plenty of advantages in doing so:. reduced competition, increased oxygen levels, and warmer temperatures. Living on land had some disadvantages as well. What is the key adaptation that reptiles made that allowed them to totally escape the aquatic environment? O A. Devleopment of dry skin and scales. O B. Development of a water saving kidney O C. Development of the amniotic egg. O D. Development of the lung instead of gills

Both alligators and pigeons have well-developed parental care strategies where the young are attended to when they are juveniles. What type of parental care would you predict for Velociraptor or Triceratops? Is there evidence of parental care among fossil dinosaurs? If so, does that agree with what the phylogeny predicts?

Fishes who spend most of their adult lives in fresh water, but must return to the sea to spawn. Fishes who spend their entire life either at sea or in freshwater. Fishes who spend most of their juvenile lives at sea and return to freshwater to spawn. OOOO

Based on a visual estimation of the intermembral index (ratio of forelimb to hindlimb lengths), what type of locomotion does this primate engage in? Forelimbs are shown on the left and hindlimbs on the right.   Group of answer choices Quadrupedalism (roughly even lengths) Vertical clinging and leaping (hindlimbs much longer than forelimbs) Suspensory locomotion (forelimbs much longer than hindlimbs)

Elephant shrews (Rhynchocyon petersi) are voracious insectivores that prey upon a wide variety of arthropods as well as worms. An American Zoological Association (AZA) accredited zoo received two male- female pairs of elephant shrews as part of a captive breeding program. In captivity the shrews were fed crickets, cockroaches, Tenebrio larvae (meal worms), annelid worms (earthworms) and cat food. The adult shrews flourished gaining weight and produced young. Baby elephant shrews however had high mortality and suffered bone deformities. Please note, the question asks about Elephant shrews, not elephants (Family Elephantidae) which are the group of large mammals with long trunks!
