write a major difference between fishes and mammals
Answers
__________FISHES
Fish swim by moving their tail from side to side. Marine mammals swim by moving their tail up and down. Fish have gills so they can breathe underwater. Marine mammals do not have gills.
Fish do not (except for a few species who can breathe air if necessary) — they breathe water, extracting the oxygen from it. Mammals have hair. Fish have scales or scutes. Mammals feed their young with milk from their own bodies.
____________MAMMALS
Mammals nurse their young (with milk). Fish don’t.
Mammals have fur (or hair). Fish don’t have fur (maybe hair?).
Mammals hold their body temperature relatively constant. Fish don’t.
Mammals breathe air. Fish, while some “breathe” air, all extract oxygen from water.
Mammals starts with a M. Fish starts with a F.
Mammals tend not to lay eggs. Fish tend to lay eggs. (some overlap)
Some mammals may hunt fish. Fish tend not to hunt mammals (unless the mammal is in the water).
Answer:
Mamamls
Mammals evolved with birds, from the reptiles. And the most evolved group of animals are the mammals with more than 5650 extant species. They are warm-blooded, that means body temperature of mammals is maintained at a constant level without changing it according to the environmental temperature. Therefore, the physiology of the mammals does not change and which has been extremely important for them to survive long ice ages without being extinct. It is a bony skeleton in all mammals, and sometimes there are cartilaginous structures present within bones. The gills are present during the foetal stage and after birth the lungs become functional until the death. Some of the most interesting features of mammals are the presence of hairs, sweat glands, and mammary glands. The name, mammals, is because of the presence of mammary glands which are functioning to feed the newborns. With the presence of mammary glands along with some other behaviours; mammals do care on their young with great courage and love.
Fish
Fish were the first evolved vertebrates (animals with a back bone) and consist of many groups with about 32,000 extant species. They are cold-blooded, i.e. change the body temperature with the environmental temperature. There is a group of fish without jaws, and another group has cartilaginous skeletons. Usually, the oxygen intake occurs through gills which are present throughout the lifespan. The skin of fish is covered with scales and there is a lateral line present on a series of scales. The lateral line is a sensitive for the water movements which are useful for their lifestyle (foraging, mating…etc). The fins are the structures developed in fish for their locomotion. With the dorsal, anal, caudal, pelvic, and pectoral are the types of fins named according to the location on body and they function in moving through different directions and balancing in the three-dimensional aquatic habitat. Some fish species demonstrate parental care and which is a higher vertebrate feature. Scientists have discovered that, some fish species communicate via sounds which can’t be heard for humans. Fish come in all the sizes up to 15 metres long whale shark.
