of their surroundings‚ and they can be as active on a cold winter’s night as they are on a hot summer’s day. Reptiles such as toads are sometimes described as “cold-blooded” because they do not use their metabolism extensively to control their body temperature. However‚ they do regulate their body temperature by using behavioral adaptations. A more accurate description of these reptiles is to say that they are ectothermic‚ which means that they absorb external heat as their main source of body heat

Cobras are vicious‚ smart‚ and intelligent reptiles that mostly live in India. They are fast enough to kill a human and slow enough to sneak up on its prey. Cobras use their techniques to do all of these things. Cobras are unique but dangerous Reptiles. Rikki Tikki Tavi was both in a book and a video‚ mostly similar‚ but a few items in the story changed it all. The book of Rikki Tikki firstly talked about the location. The description of the location was more descriptive than the video. Describing

debate of whether dinosaurs were cold blooded or warm blooded has been ongoing since the beginning of the century. At the turn of the century scientists believed that dinosaurs had long limbs and were fairly slim‚ supporting the idea of a cold blooded reptile. Recently‚ however‚ the bone structure‚ number or predators to prey‚ and limb position have suggested a warm blooded species. In addition‚ the recent discovery of a fossilized dinosaur heart has supported the idea that dinosaurs were a warm blooded

fish. This gives way to the Supai group which is mainly sandstone with some shale layers present. The presence of reptile and plant fossils indicates a drier climate at the time‚ however towards the Western regions of the canyon there is more limestone which indicates a more marine environment in that area. Next comes Hermit shale whose fern and conifer fossils as well as reptile and amphibian fossils indicate a coastal plain with many streams. Then comes the Coconino sandstone which is mostly

Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy Lecture Notes - Skeletal System II (Skull) The Vertebrate Skull consists of: 1 - neurocranium (also called endocranium or primary braincase) 2 - dermatocranium (membrane bones) 3 - splanchnocranium (or visceral skeleton) Neurocranium: 1 - protects the brain 2 - begins as cartilage that is partly or entirely replaced by bone (except in cartilaginous fishes) Cartilaginous stage: neurocranium begins as pair of parachordal & prechordal cartilages below the
