[pic] Marine biology is the scientific study of organisms in the ocean or other marine or brackish bodies of water. Given that in biology many phyla‚ families and genera have some species that live in the sea and others that live on land‚ marine biology classifies species based on the environment rather than on taxonomy. Marine biology differs from marine ecology as marine ecology is focused on how organisms interact with each other and the environment‚ and biology is the study of the organisms

The platypus‚ which is a semiaquatic mammal‚ belongs to the family of Ornithorhynchidae (Platypus‚ n.d.b). However‚ the slender-snouted crocodile‚ which is an aquatic reptile‚ comes from the family of Crocodylidae (African slender-snouted crocodile‚ n.d.). They are both vulnerable animals (African slender-snouted crocodile‚ n.d. and Platypus‚ n.d.b) because of human hunting activities. There are plenty of similarities and differences between the platypus and the slender-snouted crocodile in terms

Organisms of a species differ from one another in many of their traits. A trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce is an adaptation. Species in a particular environment that are better adapted to living conditions there and are therefore able to meet their survival

[6] Birds are categorised as the biological classAves in Linnaean taxonomy. Phylogenetic taxonomy places Aves in the dinosaur clade Theropoda.[7] Definition Aves and a sister group‚ the clade Crocodilia‚ contain the only living representatives of the reptile clade Archosauria. During the late 1990s‚ Aves was most commonly defined phylogenetically as all descendants of the most recent common ancestor of modern birds andArchaeopteryx lithographica.[8] However‚ an earlier definition proposed by Jacques Gauthier gained
