A frog starts out as a/an: a. egg b. baby c. kit 2. When a frog has no legs, we call it a: a. newborn b. chick c. tadpole
They like to eat fish and amphibians. This snake mates from late May to early June by forming “mating balls” consisting of one female and several males. They are live births, not hatched in eggs and have an average litter size of four up to ninety-nine but average about thirty babies. Only fifteen percent of the young survive their first year. They grow quickly, but then slow down when they approach sexual maturity, which is about two to three years.
The nerve pathway would be interrupted if the nerve were cut.. 5. The abdominal cavity of a frog at the end of hibernation season would contain very small fat bodies or none at all. What is the function of the fat bodies? A. The fat bodies store nutrients for the frog.
Females lay 8,000 to 35,000 eggs at a time and usually breed twice a year. This increase in number will continue to cause an expansion of the species into new areas, allowing them to feed on a large volume and variety of prey, and thus introducing the possible displacement of many native species. The introduction of this species has caused a massive threat on Australia’s native species as a result of the following: * The Cane Toads out-compete native fauna such as small skinks and frogs for
Once they’ve hatched, the young look like miniature adults. Where as spawn of an amphibian is aquatic larva. Enclosed by a soft gel exterior making them substantial prey for underwater hunters. Amphibians spend the first part of their life in water. There for they’re born with gills and go through metamorphosis to grow lungs and limbs.
Therefore the Megladon fish is a laterally compressed fish which allows it to live in dense covers or coral reefs. Laterally compressed fish make the fish flattened side-to-side. The coral reefs of Jamaica are vibrant and full of fish. The Megladon's body shape is efficient enough to allow burst of speed, escape from predators as well as fit into small spaces. They have two pectoral fins that are forked in on the sides which enable them to control their direction of movement.
[6] In the wild, Burmese pythons grow to 3.7 metres (12 ft) on average,[3][4] while specimens of more than 4 metres (13 ft) are uncommon. [7][8] In general, individuals over 5 metres are rare. [7] The record maximum length for Burmese Pythons is held by a female named “Baby”, that lived at Serpent Safari, Gurnee, Illinois, for 27 years. Shortly after death, her actual length was determined to be 5.74 metres (18 ft 10 in). Widely published data of specimens that were reported to have been even several feet longer are not verified.
Their image as a selective eater is only a legend. Rainbows are not quite as piscivorous or aggressive as brown trout or lake trout (char). Young rainbows survive on insects, fish eggs, smaller fish (up to 1/3 of their length), along with crayfish and other crustaceans. As they grow, though, the proportion of fish increases in most all populations. Some lake dwelling lines may become planktonic feeders.
One important discovery Shubin made is Tiktaalik, which is a 375 million year old fossil. Tiktaalik is a fish that has scales and gills, but its head is flattened like that of a crocodile. Like most fish, Tiktaalik’s fins have ray bones enabling them to paddle in water, but the most amazing thing about it is that it has interior bones which allows it to lift off of the sea floor, something unordinary for a typical fish. It would use its limbs for support like a tetrapod. Shubin shows how fin structures of fish like Tiktaalik mark the beginning of the evolution into the mammalian paw and opposable thumb structures in the hands of today’s primates.
They are also diurnal. Gila monsters lay 2 to 13 eggs and they mate in the spring but don’t lay them until summer. The mother doesn’t stay home with her babies.The gila monster’s prey is small birds and animals, mice, insects and eggs. Gila monsters are the only poisonous lizard in America. If you annoy gila monsters they grab you and not do let go.
