Abstract Constructing a cladogram to determine the related species and the evolutionary history. Five mammalian species‚ which are dog‚ cat‚ horse‚ opossum‚ and deer‚ are distributed into cladogram based on morphological character and molecular data. This allows identifying the relatedness of these species. By their appearances of structures and behaviors‚ the dog and cat eat meet while deer and horse eat plants. This prediction leads to the hypothesis that car and dog are close whereas deer

Animals have such an important role in the world; without animals humans would not be able to survive. If one type of species becomes extinct‚ it would affect one link in the food chain.

Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) are the world’s tallest living mammals. Some giraffes are nearly twenty feet tall with necks that are six feet long. The mystery of how the giraffe developed its incredibly long legs and neck is a key argument in the theory of natural selection. The giraffe has also developed an interesting cardiovascular system to accommodate for this adaptation. The heart of a giraffe can maintain a blood pressure 2.5 times greater than humans. There are also hypotheses that the
