pig and observed all the exterior and interior structures. The fetal pig’s structure was almost identical to the human body. Since humans and pigs are both mammals‚ it can be very useful to study the fetal pig. We dissected the pig so that we should see the skeletal and organ structures that we learned about in class. Because pigs are also mammals‚ their structure is very similar to our own. By doing the dissection‚ we were able to physically see and touch the anatomy of the mammalian body rather seeing

Plant-eating dinosaurs‚ at 40‚000 kg‚ were the heaviest animals to walk on land. * The biggest animal that ever existed is the blue whale‚ at 100‚000 kg. * Humans and our closest relatives are vertebrates. * This group includes other mammals‚ birds‚ lizards‚ snakes‚ turtles‚ amphibians‚ and the various classes of fishes.

Biodiversity of the Animal Kingdom Avis Wilson Axia College of University of Phoenix The two mammals I picked to research are the Blue Whale and the Skunk. I will describe what characteristics they share‚ and some of their differences. I will also list a couple more animals considered to be mammals. Three things all mammals have in common are: the ear contains three middle ear bones‚ at some point in life they all have hair‚ and they all have mammary glands. As I will state below they have

My cat is a mammal. (C.)My cat is a human. This is a valid argument‚ because a cat clearly isn’t a human meaning the premise all mammals are human is false. In conclusion we learned in class the difference and similarities between an argument‚ a valid argument‚ and a sound
