What is the difference between mammals and reptiles?
There are many differences between mammals and reptiles.So for the understanding the points given below more clearly take example of humans and Lizards (because they are most common one around us as a reptile).MAMMALS: . They have skins usually covered with hairs.. They have oil and sweat glands on their body.. They give births to young ones and feed them with their own milk(only females do so).They can maintain their own body temperatures (they are warm blooded).. They require energy more than reptiles.. This point is not an important one but should be noted:they usually have navels or bellybutton (in other words).REPTILES:. They have scaly skin (the skin have a large number of plate like structures).. Most of them do not have oil and sweat glands.. They do not give birth to their young ones instead of that they lay eggs.(except few like yellow anacondas but they are still reptiles because the egg hatches in their stomach ).. They do not have mammary glands means that do not feed their babies with milk.. They can't maintain their own body temperature. They have to do so by using outer resources like heat of sun (they are cold blooded). They require less energy as compared to mammals (as they do not use energy for maintaining body temperature).. As the loss of energy is less as compared to mammals they can live more without having food . For example certain species of snakes can live without eating anything for almost a year. Hence the rate of excretion is also less.These are some basic differences.Hope the answer has helped YOU.
What's the difference between a Anthro and A furry?
Anthropormorphic simply means ANYTHING that is not human morphed into human form (or possessing a human personality.) It could be a chair, an animal, a banana, an M&M. Literally anything. "Furry" just refers to animals being anthro. However, the animal does not have to have fur. Its just a term. Snakes lizards, and dragons ect can also belong in the furry fandom because they are still anthro animals. So they basically mean the same thing, but you'd use them in different contexts. Lets say for instance you're watching a pixar cartoon and you see an inanimate object with legs and arms walking and talking, you'd say 'hey, that table (or whatever) is anthro!" but you wouldn't say "hey that chair (or whatever) is a furry!" and thats the difference.
What are the main differences between birds and reptiles?
The main differences are:Birds are endothermic rather than ectothermic. This means they produce their own body heat rather than rely on the environment (I don’t like using the terms ‘warm blooded’ and ‘cold blooded’ because on a warm day, reptiles don’t have cold blood).Some reptiles, such as the leatherback turtle, can produce body heat but it isn’t as highly modified a system as it is for birds.Birds have a four chambered heart which, among the living reptiles, only crocodylians have. The others have three chambered hearts, with a poor separation between the ventricles.Birds have feathers, as well as scales. Other reptiles have scales but no feathers.Birds have no teeth, with a bill instead. Most, but not all, reptiles have teeth, except for turtles and a few others.The tail bones of a bird have been reduced and compressed into a tiny nub called a pygostyle. Most reptiles have normal tail vertebrae, although some geckoes also have little nub tails.Most birds show a fair amount of care for their young, which is unusual among reptiles with only a handful of exceptions. Crocodylians are the only reptile that have care of their young common across the whole group.Bird eggs have an air space (unusual among reptiles, although crocodylian eggs develop one late in incubation) and have to be turned during incubation, whereas reptile eggs do not.It’s worth noting here that, among the reptiles, crocodylians are more closely related to birds than they are to lizards because they share a common ancestor: the archosaurs.
